    Combo box with Autocomplete linked to Data Validation

    Hi - I've seen various suggestions around the web but not been able to get any to work.

    I have a list of customer names in a sheet called custNames range A1:A10000

    On Sheet1 I have Cell E11 data validated to the range above

    I think I need to have a combo box linked to E11 so that when I start typing the cell will autocomplete from the range

    Any ideas on this one?
