it shows how to draw a connector line(s) - says applies to Excel 2003 (which
I am using Excel 2003). I follow the instructions (below) but no connector
line appears. Why would this be?

-On the Drawing toolbar, click AutoShapes, point to Connectors, and then
click the connector line you want.

-Point to where you want to attach the connector.

-Connection sites appear as blue circles as you pass the pointer over a shape.
(I am not getting the blue cirlces here)

-Click the first connection site you want, point to the other object, and
then click the second connection site.

-Locked or attached connectors appear as red circles. Unlocked connectors
appear as green circles. (the only green cirlce I get is when I select the
shape and the green cirlce is for rotating the shape).

Somewhere I am missing something. What am I missing?

Thanks,
Rich
 
It works for me. I just connected a combobox to a textbox on a sheet.
Haven't tried it on a form. Be sure you use the connector lines and not
just regular lines. The lines must be attached at the connection points on
the shapes, which appear as little blue dots.
 
Nope, the drawing toolbar will not work in the VBE, so connectors will not
work on a UserForm.
