All,

I have a list, eg. {"Long Term Sick – Approved Pd","LTS AP";"Long Term Sick – Approved Upd","LTS AU";"Long Term Sick – Unapproved Pd","LTS UP";"Long Term Sick – Unapproved Upd","LTS UU"}.

I'd like a user to be able to select items from this list where whilst in the list it will display both Columns but after it will desplay only the code in Column 2. I have messed around with the Bound Column and Column Count Properties but can't workout how to get the list to behave as it would in Access, where the list is wider than the combo box whilst choosing the item.

Any ideas??

Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+2 to format cells as time. (Shift 2 is the @ sign).
Hi Ian,

I'm a little uncertain what you want to do. Do you want the dropdown to display just the column 2 code once it is selected? Or do you want the selected column 2 code put into a cell or textbox or someplace like that?
