Need to call Listbox in a subroutine

I am loading a listbox ("Listbox1") by name in the main body of code. I want to be able to do it in a subprogram, and I cannot seem to get it to work.

Sample code--

'Load Listbox
For iRow = 2 To iListLength + 1
Listbox1.AddItem (Sheets("Sheet1").Range(CallRange).Value)
Next iRow

iListLength is the number of items in the listbox
The listbox items themselves are on a worksheet (Sheet1, CallRange)

How might this code be modified so it can be called as a subprogram? I'd need to pass the name of the listbox as a parameter, plus (of course) sheet and range names.

Thank you,

Hi, you can try something like this. As long as you pass the full range object, you don't need to specify the sheet's name.

<pre>Option Explicit

Private Sub FillLB(LB As MSForms.ListBox, WithRange As Range)
LB.Clear
LB.List = WithRange.Value
End Sub

Sub Test()
FillLB Sheet1.ListBox1, Sheet1.Range("A2:A6")
FillLB Sheet1.ListBox1, Sheet1.Range("B2:B4")
FillLB Sheet1.ListBox2, Sheet2.Range("D2:C9")
FillLB Sheet1.ListBox2, Sheet2.Range("D2:D7")
End Sub</pre>

I won't get a chance to try it until tomorrow-- but thank you for your quick response!

Thank you. I substituted "UserForm1" for "Sheet1" and got it to load properly.

This gives me the basic idea: thanks for your help.

Now, I'll try to figure out how to pass a choice to the listbox.

Thanks again,
