JB,
I will try to answer your question. I don't know that my macros are associated with drop down menus. I created the macros in VB and not to be funny -- I learned just enough VB in an 18-wk college course in Excel to be dangerous. But I loved it and it shows.

are drop down menus driven by macros, the workbook is littered with them?
