Combo box

Phil J · May 15th, 2002, 04:04 PM

Under the View, Toolbar, Forms drop down list there is an option for a 'combination drop down edit' box which I can not activate.

How is this option activated?

Any assitance appreciated.

This tools were used in Excel 5 and 95. In Excel 97, with the new "Userforms", this controls were "replaced" with ActiveX controls. This Toolbar controls are there mainly for backward compatibility.

Main point is... you can't (Unless you insert a Dialog sheet... you CAN use it in that one !)
