    Populating dropbox depending on the value of another dropbox

    Hi,

    I have a code to populate 2 dropboxes. The first one contains surnames, the second forenames.

    The surnames are filled like this :

    The forenames like this :

    Surnames has a standard value, before clicking, "Achternaam", forenames has a standard value "Voornaam".
    Now, what I would like to add to my codes is when you select one of the surnames, you only get corresponding forenames. And vica versa. So when Kind1AN has a value of "Achternaam" or "" (it might be you delete the value to restart and the default is gone too) and you select a forename in Kind1VN, Kind1AN is not populated with all the surnames in column H, but only with those who have a corresponding forename available in column I. Same thing when you first choose a surname, the list with forenames is filled with only those who correspond with that surname.


    Thanks in advance

    Please post example file with all necessary data to provide answer.
    Avoid using Select, Selection and Activate in your code. Use With ... End With instead.

    Got it working for surnames. Not sure yet how to combine it with vice versa code for forenames.

    Re: Populating dropbox depending on the value of another dropbox

    Do you have any idea why I'm having this problem :

    I copied your code to the real workbook. Everything else stayed the same, just the userform code was replaced. But now, when I click my button I get an error message : runtime error "9" subscript out of range. And when I click debug it goes to my module and highlights the ingave.show line ...

    Strange extra problem

    I copied the code to my real form. As in the file posted here, the surnames start at H15 and the forenames as I15. Yet, when I open macro and click the dropbox, I get the values in column G ...

    In your example file you had only 2 adjacent columns. In your real file you also use columnG so using currentregion includes that column in the array a.
