For selecting a value from a list, is better to create a form, with a list field, you can find here lots of examples. If you cannot find one, i will give you tomorrow an example.

Hmmmn Ive allready got that with the Pivot Table. Oh well my goal was to have the user type in a number from 1-9 (6 is not always a valid number though) and it restrict them to that. The reason I wanted it as a macro was so the pivot table will refresh each time they click it.

Why don't you give all the details from the begining?
All you need to do is to insert a validation line:

Code:

Tablenum = Application.InputBox("Enter Old Style Division Number, a number from 1 to 9:", Title:="Numbers", Default:=1, Type:=1)
If Tablenum < 1 Or Tablenum > 9 then 
MsgBox "Not valid!"
Exit Sub
End if
ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable6").PivotFields  ("DIV").CurrentPage = Tablenum

Ok the validation line is helpful. I will just add a dummy 6 into the table so it will always return a result for 1-9. Ill let you know how it works.

Yeah this will work. Its not the perfect solution since I really wanted a list as the validation but 1-9 works too.

Thanks
