Hi Barb,

So far I only have the code to return the active cell value to A1 and the
active row # to A2:

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Range("A1") = Target.Value
Range("A2") = Target.Row
End Sub

When I select from the drop-down list, it doesn't populate A1 immediately.
A1 remains blank until I leave the active cell and come back to it, then it
works.

Thanks for any suggestions.

- Mica
