    ambiguous name detected

    Hello all,

    When I click the button "click here" then I get the error message "ambiguous name detected". I combined 2 worksheet in one workbook with the userform on each one. There are two main file, CODE and the OFFICE.

    Here is the sample file:

    Thank you.

    You can have two procedures with the same name in the same module. You need to combine the code into a single procedure.

    Hi RJ1969,

    You can attach files directly here which is the preferred as I when I tried to look at your file I had to create an account with dropbox.

    Without looking at the file, from my experience that message is because you've got two macros named the same in the same workbook. Make sure each macro has an individual name and try again.

    Thanks,

    Robert

    You may not need to combine them, they may do the same thing. But you must change the name of one of them - I often just append a 2 or an X at the end
