Hello

I have a command button, located on my spreadsheet. The code for the command button is in the vba editor within the name of the sheet - which is sheet114.

When the command button is clicked, a userform pops up. The userform has combo-boxes on it.

The userform is failing to initialize, and populate the combox boxes. Here is the code for the user-form initialize sequence and the drop downs, I was curious why isn't it initializing and populating? It should be, I'm not getting any kind of errors from VBE.

Code for the Command Button:

Code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
UserForm1.Show
End Sub





Code for Initialization of the Form:
Code:
Private Sub UserForm1_Initialize()
With ComboBox1
 .AddItem "Telephones"
 .AddItem "Computers"
 .AddItem "Monitors"
End With
End Sub




This is the code for combo-box1:

Code:
Private Sub ComboBox1_Change()
Dim index As Interger
 index = ComboBox1.ListIndexComboBox2.Clear

Select Case index
     
Case Is = 0
With ComboBox2
.AddItem "CISCO
.AddItem "Bell"
.AddItem "Oracle"
        End With
     
     
     Case Is = 1
         With ComboBox2
.AddItem "Sony"
.AddItem "Hewlet Packard"
.AddItem "Dell"
End With

Case Is = 2
With ComboBox2
.AddItem "Acer"
.AddItem "Dell"
.AddItem "Samsung"
End With

End Select
End Sub
 
Hello


This is the code for combo-box1:

Code:
Private Sub ComboBox1_Change()
Dim index As Interger


Well, I haven't looked into this issue much yet, but Integer is spelled wrong here ^ I'll keep reading though

EDIT: Also, missing quotation marks after CISCO

Excel Facts

Save Often
If you start asking yourself if now is a good time to save your Excel workbook, the answer is Yes
At the top of the Userform module there are 2 dropdowns.
Click the arrow on the left hand one & you will get a list of all the controls on the form, do you see ComboBox1 in there? (scroll down if needed)

Hey

1. I fixed the integer spelling problem

Okay, so in my list in VBE, I have ComboBox1, ComboBox2, Command Button1, Label 1, Label 2, Label 3 and Userform.

When I I click combo box 1 in the VBE...then in the drop down next to the right has your standard:
Click
Change
DblClick
Enter
Error

...and so on..

I recreated your form and copy/pasted your code.

With three revisions, mine began working.

(Changed Spelling of Integer, added line break to the next line, added quotation marks to CISCO)

Ends up looking like this:

Code:
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
With ComboBox1
 .AddItem "Telephones"
 .AddItem "Computers"
 .AddItem "Monitors"
End With
End Sub

Code:
Private Sub ComboBox1_Change()
Dim index As Integer
 index = ComboBox1.ListIndex
 ComboBox2.Clear


Select Case index
     
Case Is = 0
With ComboBox2
.AddItem "CISCO"
.AddItem "Bell"
.AddItem "Oracle"
        End With
     
     
     Case Is = 1
         With ComboBox2
.AddItem "Sony"
.AddItem "Hewlet Packard"
.AddItem "Dell"
End With


Case Is = 2
With ComboBox2
.AddItem "Acer"
.AddItem "Dell"
.AddItem "Samsung"
End With


End Select
End Sub

I tried it...Except, I'm not sure if I did the line break correctly, just shift>enter?
Here is a shared link to the downloadable file

Also - Are you putting all of your code into the Module, or the userform? Because right now I have my code split out...The code for the Userform_initialize() and Combo Box1 is in UserForm1

The Sub for the Command button is on the page named 'Sheet1' in the VBE...

Just for the fun of it, I tried re-creating it...and still got the same error in the same place... Run-time Error 424 - Object Required...and in yellow Userform.show gets highlighted in yellow

The commandbutton code should be
Code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
UserForm1.Show
End Sub
And along with the corrections mentioned by hotabae, you should be ok.

Hey,

Alright, so that got rid of the error. Thank you!! But after the userform pops up - the boxes still don't populate.
I made all the changes - except, I might not have inserted the line break correctly I'm pretty sure I did though.

The commandbutton code should be
Code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
UserForm1.Show
End Sub
And along with the corrections mentioned by hotabae, you should be ok.

Fluff Has it covered but to answer your earlier questions:

I tried it...Except, I'm not sure if I did the line break correctly, just shift>enter?

That would be fine, but a simple 'enter' would suffice. Just needed it on a new line.

Also - Are you putting all of your code into the Module, or the userform? Because right now I have my code split out...The code for the Userform_initialize() and Combo Box1 is in UserForm1

All of this code was stored in the userForm (except the initial call button - commandButton1).
