    Populating ComboBox from range in Worksheet based on another comboBox - Runtime Error: 424

    Hello All,

    I am fairly new to VBA programming. I've made a userform with multiple comboBoxes. The value selected in the first ComboBox (combtype) is supposed to dictate what the second ComboBox (combloc) is populated with. I know I can do this by adding items individually, however, there are over 500 options (~150 per option in combtype) available in the second combobox (combloc) and I may need to add or adjust those values in the future. I have been unable to get my combloc to populate based on a range of values in the worksheet.

    Here is the part of my userform in question: y.PNG

    I have defined the ranges in the worksheet using Define name in the formulas tab.

    When the userform initializes I want it to set those ranges to be called upon after combtype is selected. Here is the code:

    Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()

    Me.combloc.Enabled = False

    'SINGLE, DOUBLE, FLAT, and OTHER are the options in the first comboBox (combtype)'
    Dim rngSINGLE As Range
    Dim rngDOUBLE As Range
    Dim rngFLAT As Range
    Dim rngOTHER As Range
    Dim wk As Worksheet

    Set wk = Worksheets("Inventory")
    For Each rngSINGLE In wk.Range("SINGLEList")
    Next rngSINGLE

    For Each rngDOUBLE In wk.Range("DOUBLEList")
    Next rngDOUBLE

    For Each rngFLAT In wk.Range("FLATList")
    Next rngFLAT

    For Each rngOTHER In wk.Range("OTHERList")
    Next rngOTHER

    End Sub



    When the option is selected in combtype here is what happens:

    Private Sub combtype_change()

    'These are to prevent the combloc from adding duplicate items if the combtype is changed'
    Me.combloc.Clear
    Me.combloc.Enabled = True

    If Me.combtype.value = "SINGLE" Then

    'Here is where the object required error occurs'
    Me.combloc.AddItem rngSINGLE.value

    ElseIf Me.combtype.value = "DOUBLE" Then

    Me.combloc.AddItem rngDOUBLE.value

    ElseIf Me.combtype.value = "FLAT" Then

    Me.combloc.AddItem rngFLAT.value

    ElseIf Me.combtype.value = "OTHER" Then

    Me.combloc.AddItem rngOTHER.value

    Else
    Me.combloc.Enabled = False
    End If

    End Sub


    I feel like I am close but would appreciate some guidance. Most other threads suggest just populating the comboboxes when the form initializes but that is not possible on my form until combtype is chosen.

    Thanks in advance.

    Re: Populating ComboBox from range in Worksheet based on another comboBox - Runtime Error:

    Your UserForm_Initialize procedure isn't setting those ranges. It isn't doing much of anything, but you don't need it for this case.

    This code (not tested) will use the selected value in the Type combobox and concatenate "List" to the end of the value to define the named range for the bloc combobox.

    Surround your VBA code with CODE tags e.g.;
    [CODE]your VBA code here[/CODE]
    The # button in the forum editor will apply CODE tags around your selected text.

    /u/AlphaFrog Thank you! That was the solution. I think I was overthinking the problem. But this worked perfectly and will make it much easier on me to edit in the future.

    I appreciate the help and quick reply.

    Glad it worked. Thanks for the feedback.

    You fortunately used that the Type values as the names for the ranges. That made it easy to code.
