Data Validation - Allow List - In-cell Dropdown not showing up

This is in a MS Office 97 Excel Workbook, although I have selected data
validation for a cell the in-cell dropdown is not showing up. Of course
some silly person would tell me that I don't have the In-cell Dropdown
checkbox selected . . . got it smart guy. It is still not working.

I will give you the current setup:

Cell L4 has the current data validation:
Allow: List
Source: =$B$54:$B$65
Ignore blank - selected
In-cell Dropdown - selected

Cells B54:B65
January
February
March . . . etc.

Anyone have any ideas?

Are you using windows|freeze panes?

Is your cell with Data|validation above that line?

If yes, move the cell or remove the data|validation.

It's a bug in xl97, fixed in xl2k.

I think Dave meant,... "or remove the freeze panes"

You could use WindowSplit instead

Yes, I did. I was distracted by some XSPAM problems.

If you didn't use your real email address in the public newsgroups,
maybe you wouldn't get so much XSPAM!

As you suspected the freeze panes was the problem . . . that is a silly bug
.. . . Oh well.

Thank you, now which choice will I use . . . No matter, I'll figure that
out. At least now I know what's up.

Thank you again,

Patrick Gibbons

Hi Debra
this is one of the nice things with NG :-)
You have to constantly adapt your filters :-(

On a sidenote: though in english NG it's o.k. to use false email
addresses in most German NGs (like the German Excel NG) this is
considered against the rules (same is true for not using real names)

That's why I don't post in the German newsgroups!

And even with a munged address, I need MailWasher to filter all the
messages that arrive.

Microsoft recently came out with an advisory telling folks TO use bollixed
email addresses in ng's because of the spam problem.
