Hi all,
Not sure if this is a glitch but i have a drop down list that looks at postcodes (range A2:B2993). I have another cell that looks up the drop down list it it updates perfectly. For instance, if the user selects AB1 in the drop down (V61), the cell looking up the dropdown (V57) will show AB (column B below) All Good. V57 then highlights a shape based on the postcode. My problem is, the only way the shape updates is if i double click in V57 and press enter????? Is this fixable?

Excel Facts

When they said...
When they said you are going to "Excel at life", they meant you "will be doing Excel your whole life".
Do you highlight the shape with a VBA macro? In that case, could you post it?

@Engberg I know from responding to another* @monkeyharris post that the shape updating was originally to be triggered by change to input to cell V57.

Subsequently they have changed the input cell to V61 with the expectation that the recalculation of the formula in V57 would still trigger the original change event code.
Neither of which will happen.
I have subsequently posted revised code to suit. Hence this question is now somewhat redundant.
