Hi Dave this is the whole code. What do you mean calling?
Code:
Private Sub TextBox310_Change()
Me.TextBox310.Text = GetCellValue(Filepath:="G:\TEAM\ES_Mtr_Tech_Ops\Customer Management Centre\Utilisation\Complex\Capacity test\", FileName:="CapacitytestDATA.xlsx", SheetName:="Data", CellAddress:="V2")
End Sub

Excel Facts

Wildcard in VLOOKUP
Use =VLOOKUP("Apple*" to find apple, Apple, or applesauce
Re: How to copy cell vaule from a different workbook into a textbox in a userform

And this is the code I put into Module2.
Code:
Function GetCellValue(Filepath As String, FileName As String, _
                      SheetName As String, CellAddress As String) As Variant
'modified from John Walkenbach's routine:
'Retrieves a value from an open or closed workbook
    Dim Arg As String, PathSep As String
    PathSep = Application.PathSeparator
    If Right(Filepath, 1) <> PathSep Then Filepath = Filepath & PathSep
    
'Make sure the file exists
    If Not Dir(Filepath & FileName) = vbNullString Then
'Create the argument
        Arg = "'" & Filepath & "[" & FileName & "]" & SheetName & "'!" & _
        Range(CellAddress)(1).Address(ReferenceStyle:=xlR1C1)
'Execute an XLM macro
        GetCellValue = ExecuteExcel4Macro(Arg)
    Else
        GetCellValue = "Error"
    End If
End Function

I suspect you are using the wrong event for what you are trying to do. Assign that code to a button on your form & see if returns value you want.

The TextBox change event triggers went you type something in to it - You want a value returned to that textbox from another workbook which code provided should do, but you something needs to happen in your project to make that code to run

- without knowing what you are doing difficult to suggest where in your project the code should reside.

Perhaps helpful if you could paost section of code in your form & explain what it is you are doing in in it (e.g. entering a search value in another textbox?) to expect values to populate textboxes.

Hi thanks for getting back to me. Can I add my project to dropbox please tomorrow for you to look at? What I have is a userform which works with another workbook. But one part of it i have several text boxes which I just want to show what is in a cell in another workbook. For example it will have the word 'Mide' in a cell and I want that to show in the text box in the userform
