    How do I get a drop down list to appear if I click on a cell

    I have already added a drop down list, using the Data Validation functionality. Currently, if I select the cell, it is blank, and I have to select the arrow button in order to display the drop down options.

    Can I have the drop down options show as soon as I select the cell, without having to select the arrow button?

    Thanks!

    The key strokes to drop the list is Alt & Down Arrow

    You could use the sendkeys application, it does cause problems with the number lock if you have too many send key commands at a time.

    For practice purposes, have the data validation in A1

    In the worksheet module, enter this code, then select A1

    Right click the sheet tab and select view code to get to the worksheet module.
