Hello, I am looking for a way to reset all my dropdown lists in a workbook to their top choice. Right now I found the following code, but it is for a certain sheet only, whereas I want all sheets with a dropdown to do this. plus I want this to only work when the sheet is opened automatically so people do not have to think. Thank you for any help.

Sub ResetDropDowns()

Dim rngLists As Range
Dim ListCell As Range

On Error Resume Next
Set rngLists = Sheets("Entry Sheet").UsedRange.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeAllValidation)
On Error GoTo 0

If Not rngLists Is Nothing Then
For Each ListCell In rngLists.Cells
ListCell.Value = Range(Trim(Mid(Replace(ListCell.Validation.Formula1, ":", String(99, " ")), 2, 99))).Value
Next ListCell
End If

End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
Untested, but try
Code:
Private Sub Workbook_SheetActivate(ByVal Sh As Object)

Dim rngLists As Range
Dim ListCell As Range

On Error Resume Next
Set rngLists = Sh.UsedRange.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeAllValidation)
On Error GoTo 0

If Not rngLists Is Nothing Then
   For Each ListCell In rngLists.Cells
      ListCell.Value = Range(trim(Mid(Replace(ListCell.Validation.Formula1, ":", String(99, " ")), 2, 99))).Value
   Next ListCell
End If

End Sub
This needs to go in the ThisWorkbook module
