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?

You can teach Excel a new custom list. Type the list in cells, File, Options, Advanced, Edit Custom Lists, Import, OK

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.
