Hello,

I know that I can open a drop down list with Alt-Down arrow, but I can't navigate the list by pressing a the first letter of an item in my list when it is open -- When the list is open and I press S, nothing happens.

What am I doing wrong or a parameter to add?

Thanks in advance for your help!
Tom

Thank you for your quick response. My question is about a data validation drop down list. Thoughts?

I have never heard of such a thing for data validation.
