Text Box ControlSource issues

[ultrawat]

I have a spreadsheet which has pop-up user form, with text boxes which link to a cell on another sheet in the workbook.

ie the user form pops up, I enter a number in the text box field, and this number appears in the linked cell in a separate worksheet in the workbook.

My problem comes when I save the workbook to a different name. The ControlSource area in the properties fields keeps the cell reference for the 'old' filename.....??

Can anyone help with how this ControlSource link changes to the new file name??

Any help would be really appreciated.....

I can reproduce that behaviour only if both workbooks are open and the original workbook is the ActiveWorkbook. Is that the case for you?

I tend to avoid the ControlSource property because it can be problematical. I update the Control in code when the UserForm is shown and the target cell when the value in the Control changes.

Thanks Andrew

I should have said that the process is Save as......

I like the idea of code instead of using ControlSource.

Can you give me a sample code for this process?

Really appreciate your help.....

Sample code:

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
    TextBox1.Value = Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Value
End Sub

Private Sub TextBox1_Change()
    Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Value = TextBox1.Value
End Sub
