I have a user form filled with data items. However, it is still possible for the user to enter their own data into these boxes.
How do i restrict entry here to just those items that I have set in the drop down list?

Shade all formula cells
To shade all formula cells: Home, Find & Select, Formulas to select all formulas. Then apply a light fill color.
What kind or "boxes" are you using?
A ListBox will only allow you to pick from the list you assign using the "RowSource" Property.

The ListBox does just what you are asking. It does not allow data entry, only list selection.
