[ExcelVBA] Enlarging text in drop down lists

 



Derek, good thing you ask I generally limit my interaction on the groups as I don't really have any scripting skills. One think I have been trying to get done is enlarge the size of the text in a dropdown list when it is selected. I have about4 dropdown lists in a sheet, the text so small it is difficult to select the correct one. If you have any suggestions on how to get the font size of the text enlarged when scrolling through the drop down list it will help me out a lot.

I tried many variations of coding the source range and then found that even if I hard-coded the fully qualified source address it still did Error 13, which by the way is not the error you get if the pivot runs out of memory.
