Input boxes vs List

How can you use a drop down list (rather than an input box) when prompting a user for a piece of information (eg Salesperson's name), to ensure spelling mistakes are not made?

RE: Input boxes vs List

Hi Kenneth,

Thanks for the question.

To create a drop down list, you must first draw a COMBO BOX from the TOOLBOX toolbar. Switch on properties to name it, e.g. cboList1

Once it's drawn, double click inside the COMBO BOX picture.
Put in the code starting with combo box name, for example:

cbolist1.additem "SalesPerson1"

The .additem code will add labels into the box.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Katie

 

Excel tip:

Importing Numbers in Excel 2010

Occasionally, when importing data into Excel you find that the some of the imported values are treated as text.

To convert these numbers to actual values, click on an empty cell and press Ctrl+C.

Next, select the range that contains the values you need to change and in the Clipboard Group on the Home tab, click the Paste drop-down arrow and choose Paste Special. In the Paste Special dialog box, select Add and then click OK.
