    Embed combo box in cell

    Thanks to several on this site, my project is almost complete. If I could ask for anything more it would be for the 5 combo boxes to be enbedded in the cells they are covering ( or at least navigate like cells, on enter or arrow keys. See attached workbook. If it means that the boxes can't function as they do now, I'm not sure it's worth it though.
    Thank you,
    Sick

    What sheets and what cells are you asking to have combo boxes on? Have you tried Data Validataion Lists?
    One test is worth a thousand opinions.

    Sorry!
    Sheet=Granite
    Boxes are in P53:P57.
    They were originally data validation, list boxes but the font was too small. Plus I really enjoy the match feature of the combo list boxes.

    Hi Sick Stigma,

    I find a site that explains a lot of this on http://www.exceltip.com/st/Add_Combo...Excel/300.html
    After adding a ComboDropdown on the Form Control Dialog on a Tab named Control there is a place for
    Input Range (which is like your validation list) and Cell Link - which is where the data goes after clicking on the value.

    What problems are you having exactly, trying to get a ComboBox attached to a cell?

    I hope that helps.
