    Excel Combo box search drop down list

    Hello VBA Masters,
    The below is a code which is from this website. it makes a datasheet with drop down list into a search and fill form by using a combo box. The code works for both the drown down formulas . i.e. it works when I use’ named range’ field and also an INDIRECT($A$2) formula. The problem I have is that the code goes through the whole spreadsheet and looks for EVERY dropdown in the sheet and it becomes an issue at times – especially when I have use a data field as a drop down list.
    Can I get the code to only work for certain cells? – For example I want it to work for Whole column B and C and D. but the remaining sheet should be normal dropdown boxes.
    Your help would be much appreciated.
