    UserFrom ListBox blank on Mac

    Hi --

    On a PC I created a UserForm which has a ListBox.
    However, when trying to run on a Mac, the ListBox is blank.
    I've tried finding a solution, but have had no luck.
    Does anyone know how to fix so that the list is populated on a Mac?
    Thank you!

    How about telling us more, like WHAT are you populating it with.
    What's the source for the listbox?
    Have you use ActiveX elements? That may not work on a Mac

    If you are using Rowsource that might be a reason. Rowsource is not supported on Mac.

    What is the code you are currently using to populate the ListBox on a PC?

    ..Wrap code by selecting the code and clicking the # or read this. Thank you.

    Hi --

    No code is being used to pupolayte the list box and no, ActiveX is not being used.
    The list box is populated by a simple cell range (see below):

    hope this helps
    Thanks!

    That is why it is blank on the Mac.
    What you should do is put this in the userform's Initialize event

    I think you should read Ron de Bruin's site; here's the link: http://www.rondebruin.nl/mac/mac027.htm
    I just started to help my daughter with Excel on a Mac (vs 2011) and need to learn the differences.
    It's an eye-opener, I can advice his site : http://www.rondebruin.nl/mac/section1.htm

    I don't think the Transpose is necessary. (It's never really necessary for a listbox/combobox as you can just use the Column property instead of List).

    I having an issue getting this to work. I placed it here, and still get an error (now on both PC & Mac version) -- it debugs to this line. Am I doing something wrong?
    Maybe a more detailed explanation on where to put would help.
    Thank you!

    Re: UserFrom ListBox blank on Mac

    It doesn't work like that:

    You have to load the form the fill it and then show it

    Re: UserFrom ListBox blank on Mac

    Does this happen on both systems?
    Looks like an access denied issue
    If you Google this error you get some hits and explanations, one of them is:
    "Permission Denied" is not for a protected worksheet but for wrong access to a property or variable.

    Re: UserFrom ListBox blank on Mac

    The Permission Denied might be related to the rowsource propery being other than "". Try changing that in the Property Window.
