I'd like to prevent people entering a number over 100 in cell C10 of my worksheet. I found the following from Erik on the boards but it wouldn't work - maybe I should put it somewhere different to the worksheet module?

Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim rng As Range
Const limit = 100
Set rng = Range("C10")
If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
With Application
.EnableEvents = False
If Len(Target) > limit Then .Undo
.EnableEvents = True
End With
End Sub

Also, I have a combobox with the following code:

Code:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Dim i As Integer
With Sheets("Data")
   With .ComboBox1
       .AddItem "Standard"
       .AddItem "Euro"
   End With
   With .ComboBox2
       For i = 1 To 7
          .AddItem i
       Next
   End With
End With
End Sub

Is there a way to prevent people entering numbers other than 1 to 7?

Hi,

sheetcode
that code was to prevent the users from entering more than 100 characters in C10, hence LEN !
you need
Code:
If Target > limit Then .Undo

combobo
see properties: STYLE
you need fmStyleDropDownList

kind regards,
Erik

you're WELCOME !!

checking again this one ...
you could use validation for all this (validate cell C10 and replacing comboboxes by another validated cell)
