I've created a drop down menu for cell I4 that allows users to choose A, B, C
or D.  Depending on what letter they choose, I want another drop down menu.  
Such as, if they choose A, I want their choices to be Apples, Oranges,
Grapes.  If they choose B, I want their choices to be Grapefruit, Kiwi,
Plums.  And so on.  How do I do that?

karen,

When you say "drop down menu", do you mean Data Validation?

If so, this page gives instructions on how to acomplish what I think you are
describing:

contextures.com site you sent me, but I'm having a little trouble.  Would you

Isn't there another way?  I downloaded VBD but I cant figure out how to open
it in excel and use it.  And if I did figure out how to open it, it might
take me weeks to learn how to use it.  Is there a way to do what I'm asking
within Excel itself?
