    Access combobox controls in worksheet - Getting runtime error '438'

    I have defined a global variable array in standard module. Defined 4 combo boxes in a worksheet (Sheet1) as Combobox1, Combobox 2 etc...

    I am trying to access the combobox controls dynamically within a function in the worksheet (Sheet1) but I keep getting runtime error '438'. Object does not support property/method.

    Can anyone suggest what am I missing?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Padala and welcome to ExcelForum,

    Thank you for using Code Tags.

    There are two types of controls on a SpreadSheet:
    a. Forms Controls, and
    b. Active X Controls

    For a discussion of the difference between the two see: http://www.excelforum.com/excel-prog...ml#post3880991

    You seem to have an 'Active X' control and are using Forms Control Syntax:

    Typical 'Active X' Syntax (typically no spaces in the name):

    Typical 'Forms Control Syntax (typically lots of spaces in the name:
