    Good afternoon DMEAKIN1

    You could use John Walkenbach's menu maker wrapper routine. Download it from here :

    There are 2 methods you could use for creating drop-down lists that I normally teach to people:

    Data validation (restricting to a list) OR
    Combo boxes

    Have you tried looking into either of these methods yet? Shout if you need more explanation on either.

    Cheers,

    Hi thanks fr the responses.

    I am currently using the data validation method, but am constantly having to update the list. what i need is a drop down menu where if the information i require is not already in the list i can just type it in and it will be stored in the list.

    I have not used Combo boxes before. can you please advise me?

    Thanks

    David
