    Combobox not reflecting linked cell value

    i have 3 comboboxes in a sheet, and one combobox change code that will trigger another cell's value based on what is selected in combobox1.
    After all fields are filled in, I have a macro that will clear all constants, including the linked cells of all 3 comboboxes. However, whenever this happens, only 1 combox will be blank (reflecting its blank linked cell), but the other 2 will still have text in them despite their linked cells being blank. Any ideas?

    Re: Combobox not reflecting linked cell value

    are you talking about userforms, Forms or ActiveX

    how are you linking? how are you clearing?

    probably best to post a sample file

    Re: Combobox not reflecting linked cell value

    Hi thanks for the reply, but i managed to work around it.

    I was using ActiveX.

    I found out that if I put the code in Combobox1_change(), comboxes 2 & 3 will not update their values from the linked cell.

    If I put the code only in Combobox2_Change(), only combobox 3 will not update.

    So I just shifted the code to Combobox3_Change()

    Did the job, even though I have no idea why.

    Thanks anyway!

    can assume its how you have programmed it to happen
    whereby your code in CB3 that is linked to CB2 which in turn is linked into CB1

    anyway good to hear you have a solution
