I've produced a userform with a drop-down list with items such as chair, table, bed etc. When i select one of them (eg. chair) , and press the command button to select the item, it flashes up with all of them and goes back to the original chosen one.

HELP! Whats going on?!

How do i get them to show up on the spreadsheet individually??!!!

Do you have any code on the userform pertaining to the list? I'm guessing that you may have something in the listbox "change" event that resets the selection.

At the moment all ive got is a userform with a drop down list which has got all my item headings within it.

Im now trying to produce a command button that when you select from the drop down list the item and press the command butoon it takes you to that item in the spreadsheet. This isnt working at the moment!

Put this code on your userform:


Private Sub ListBox1_Click()
Dim oRange As Range
Set oRange = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Find(what:=Me.ListBox1.Text)
oRange.Activate
End Sub


Change "ListBox1" to whatever the name of your listbox is. I've assumed that the active worksheet will house the data that is in the listbox.

HTH

I may have picked up your post wrong. That previous code was for a "Listbox", I think that you may have a "ComboBox" (dropdown list).

Use this code if you have a combobox (put it on the userform):


Private Sub ComboBox1_Change()
Dim oRange As Range
Set oRange = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Find(what:=Me.ComboBox1.Text)
oRange.Activate
End Sub


Change "ComboBox1" to whatever the name of your combobox is.

IMO I think Frankie needs to call 1-888-SOLPROV. They should have an answer for him/her.

Highlight all of your code and copy and paste my code to replace it. (assuming that the lines of code you've quoted are the only lines you have there, apart from the associated "End Sub"'s)

"oRange" is a variable that I've declared that will hold the address of the cell that contains the combobox value.

To be honest, it sounds like you're going to need to get an Excel VBA book to get you started. Have a look at some of MrExcel's recommendations:
