Hi all,

Currently I have an issue with the sequence on which my functions are performed. I had to update a document with a lot of modules already predefined. I had to insert a new function that empties the drop down list fields every time a new parent is chosen. However, this code only works if a macro is run before.

How can I make sure that the code works everytime without having to first perform a Macro from the modules?

This is the code that I wrote in the corresponding sheet:
VBA Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    If Target.Address = "$B$14" Then
    Range("B15").Value = " "
    
    End If
    
    If Target.Address = "$B$14" Then
    Range("B25").Value = " "
    
    End If
    
    
    If Target.Address = "$B$15" Then
    Range("B25").Value = " "
    
    End If
    
    
End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
If Application.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("B11", "B14", "B15", "B17", "B21", "B25", "B40", "B41", "B42", "B43", "B45").Value = "" Then
Cancel = True
MsgBox "Save cancelled"
End If
End Sub

Lock one reference in a formula
Need 1 part of a formula to always point to the same range? use $ signs: $V$2:$Z$99 will always point to V2:Z99, even after copying
There's nothing there that would require running a macro. I can only guess that something has disabled events and the macro you run re-enables them.

Thank you RoryA, I did not know that that could be the case but I did a ctrl + f on the word events and found indeed that this was turned off. It is working now.
