    Ambiguous name detected

    I have an "ambiguous name detected". These combo boxes are on the same user form named combobox1 and 2 respectively.
    I'm not sure what "Private sub UserForm-Initialize()" can be retitled to yet it shighlighted as an error.
    Any suggestions?

    You can't have two Initialize events. Just put all the code in one.

    You cannot have two macros with the same name. Try combining the two like this:
