Userforms - Inconsistent Transfer from Cell Reference to TextBox

[Don Carlos]

(Excel 2010 - 32 Bit on Windows 7 Enterprise)

Hello,

I ask for your assistance with transferring data between an Excel Sheet and a userform. The userform is intended to both capture (write to an Excel sheet) and retrieve (from the same Excel sheet).

My problem is that, when I debug the code, cell reference contents will not consistently be captured into the textboxes. Usually, either the 'PrimaryRisk' is successful in reporting the information from the sheet and the 'SecondaryRisk' is not, or vice versa (in coming up Null).

Below is a sample of the code, which is purposely overly redundant to see if a method is consistently reliable. Typically, it will work or it won't for any of the methods in that set.

'PrimaryRisk
        With UserForm3.PrimaryRisk
            .Text = Sheet4.Cells(nSelectedRecord + 1, 3)
            .Value = Sheet4.Cells(nSelectedRecord + 1, 3)
        End With
        If UserForm3.PrimaryRisk.Text = "" Then
            UserForm3.PrimaryRisk.Value = Sheet4.Cells(nSelectedRecord + 1, 3)
        End If
        If UserForm3.PrimaryRisk.Text = "" Then
            tTempText = Sheet4.Cells.Cells(nSelectedRecord + 1, 3).Value
            UserForm3.PrimaryRisk.Text = tTempText
        End If
        If UserForm3.PrimaryRisk.Text = "" Then
            UserForm3.PrimaryRisk.Value = Sheet4.Cells(nSelectedRecord + 1, 3).Value
        End If
        UserForm3.PrimaryRiskText.Value = WorksheetFunction.VLookup(UserForm3.PrimaryRisk.Value, Range("RISKTABLE"), 2, False)
        'SecondaryRisk (Optional)
        If Sheet4.Cells(nSelectedRecord + 1, 4) = "" Or Sheet4.Cells(nSelectedRecord + 1, 4) = 0 Then
            UserForm3.SecondaryRisk.Text = ""
            UserForm3.SecondaryRiskText.Value = ""
        Else
            With UserForm3.SecondaryRisk
                .Text = Sheet4.Cells(nSelectedRecord + 1, 4).Value
                .Value = Sheet4.Cells(nSelectedRecord + 1, 4).Value
            End With
            UserForm3.SecondaryRisk.Value = Sheet4.Cells(nSelectedRecord + 1, 4)
            If UserForm3.SecondaryRisk.Text = "" Then
                tTempText = Sheet4.Cells.Cells(nSelectedRecord + 1, 3).Value
                UserForm3.SecondaryRisk.Text = tTempText
            End If
            If UserForm3.SecondaryRisk.Text = "" Then
                UserForm3.SecondaryRisk.Value = Sheet4.Cells(nSelectedRecord + 1, 3).Value
            End If
            UserForm3.SecondaryRiskText.Value = WorksheetFunction.VLookup(UserForm3.SecondaryRisk.Value, Range("RISKTABLE"), 2, False)
        End If

Notes:
1. I have tried to interchange between .value and .text without a change in results.
2. nSelectRecord is either 1 if not determined by the user or the record number selected by the user.
3. tTempText is usually successful in capturing the Excel sheet information, but is usually not successful in being written into the textbox.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Where is this code located?

 

[Don Carlos]

The code is connected to the "edit" command button on the userform.

Interestingly, the userform is reliable for collecting information and pasting onto a sheet using the reverse order of the code shared in this post (userform.textbox -> sheet.cell()).

It's hard to tell, the code looks so busy....

I agree. The additional interesting thing is that if it works, they all work, say for primary risk. The redundant code does not overwrite a successful collection. But if it does not work on the first line, it will not correct itself in the redundant code.

My own thought is that the cause may be copying the textbox rather than recreating the textbox from the toolbox. But this is just a thought.

I did find a solution to my problem. I was able to reliably capture information from a spreadsheet tab into the userform using ".ControlSource" property and referencing unique cell reference for each textbox and listbox. An example is:

UserForm3.CostTimeFrame.ControlSource = "Reference!$Q$3"
