drop down list
Is it possible to allow a user to select multiple items from a drop down
list? If so, how? ie, Allow people to select red, blue and yellow from a list of 8 colors. Thanks T |

No, not from a DropDown list. If you are using a userform with a ListBox
however, then it is possible. See the article "How to find out which Items are selected in a Multi-Select ListBox" at: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Userforms/...lectValues.htm -- Please respond to the Newsgroup for the benefit of others who may be interested.

Great. However, my skills are minimal. Can you direct me to an explanation
of how to create a ListBox. Thanks T "Doug Robbins" wrote: No, not from a DropDown list. If you are using a userform with a ListBox however, then it is possible.

Creating the Listbox is easy, you select if from the range of controls that
are available when you are creating the user form. How you get the items in the list is the question. If there are just a few items and they do not change, in the Initialize event of the user form, you can use Private Sub UserForm_Initialize() With ListBox1 .AddItem "Red" .AddItem "Blue" .AddItem "Green" 'etc for all of your colours End With End Sub -- Please respond to the Newsgroup for the benefit of others who may be interested.
