I created a drop down menu in Excel 2000 but, the drop down arrow for my custom menu is only visable when my curser is in the cell where I created the menu.

How do I make the drop down arrow visable at all times (regardless of where my curser is located)?

Thanks.

I went the Data tab, Validation and selected the range of data.

I tried to use the Auto Filter (which shows the drop down arrow at all times) but I need to create several drop down menus in the same column (one below another) and Auto Filter won't let me do that.

Any thoughts?

Thanks for your consideration.

Ok pretty sure you can't have the drop down arrow showing all the time.
If you do it hides part of the data in the next cell.
or try this
