If I populate a combo box list by name:

Code:
combobox1.List = Sheets("Admin").Range("benefittype").Value

No problem.

But...

if I loop through the combo boxes like this:

Code:
Dim cb As OLEObject

For Each cb In Sheets("FORM 1908").OLEObjects

    cb.List = Sheets("Admin").Range("benefittype").Value

Next cb

I get "Object doesn't support this property or method"

If I declare cb as a varaint I get the same problem.
 

Excel Facts

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
Try this:-
Code:
[COLOR="Navy"]Sub[/COLOR] MG09Mar19
[COLOR="Navy"]Dim[/COLOR] cb [COLOR="Navy"]As[/COLOR] OLEObject
[COLOR="Navy"]For[/COLOR] [COLOR="Navy"]Each[/COLOR] cb [COLOR="Navy"]In[/COLOR] Sheets("FORM 1908").OLEObjects
    [COLOR="Navy"]If[/COLOR] TypeName(cb.Object) = "ComboBox" [COLOR="Navy"]Then[/COLOR]
        cb.Object.List = Sheets("Admin").Range("benefittype").value
    [COLOR="Navy"]End[/COLOR] If
[COLOR="Navy"]Next[/COLOR] cb
[COLOR="Navy"]End[/COLOR] [COLOR="Navy"]Sub[/COLOR]

Thanks Mick. It works. I don't understand that object business, but it works so I don't care. Thanks again.
