Sorry to re-post this, but can anyone help with setting up a list box on a form so that vertical scrolling still works, but the user is not able to select (i.e. highlight) any row in the listbox.

Thanks.

What is =ROMAN(40) in Excel?
The Roman numeral for 40 is XL. Bill "MrExcel" Jelen's 40th book was called MrExcel XL.

Hi Linus, is there any reason you don't want the selection highlighted ?
You can do this although there still remains an outlined selection BUT no default colour selection....

Hi Ivan,

I want to do this because there are other list boxes in the spreadsheet where selecting and highlighting a row causes something to happen, & this list box is providing reference information only (so highlighting it will be confusing).

Is there a way to have the outline selection only, with no color change ? That would be a good solution in this case.

Thanks.
