    select multiple values from a cell data validation list dropdown

    Hi all,

    I would like to be able to select multiple values from a cell data validation list dropdown which are then entered into the cell within the chosen column. This is the code I have come up with which works but it sometimes gets a runtime error and disables the code which then requires me to re-open the spreadsheet to get it working again. I welcome any ideas on how to prevent this in my code.

    Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    
        Dim oldVal As String
        Dim newVal As String
        Dim sComments As String
    
        If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
        If Target.Column = 10 Then
        
      On Error GoTo exit_Click_Err
    
        'If Target.Column <> 100 Then
            newVal = Target.Value
            If newVal <> "" Then
                Application.EnableEvents = False
                Application.Undo
    
                Else
                End If
                    
                oldVal = Target.Value
                If InStr(oldVal, newVal) = 0 Then
                    Target.Value = IIf(oldVal = "", "", oldVal) & ";" & newVal
                End If
                Application.EnableEvents = True
            End If
            
    exit_Click_Exit:
        Exit Sub
    
    exit_Click_Err:
        'MsgBox Error$
        Resume exit_Click_Exit
             
        End Sub
    For Info, the error normally occurs when I select the cell and hit delete key to delete any entries I have made and the error is : runtime error 1004 , method 'UNDO' of object '_Application failed'


    Thanks
