    Has the code ever worked? If it did, what's changed? Sheets? Sheet layout? Protection?

    Useful to post, at least, the code and, ideally, a sample of the problem workbook.



    Please attach a sample workbook (not a picture or pasted copy). Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

    Remember to desensitize the data.

    Click on GO ADVANCED and then scroll down to Manage Attachments to open the upload window.

    Re: troubleshoot & fix Run-time error '438': Object doesn't support this property or metho

    I have added a form control combo box in the sheet. Im getting the error when i have changed the property style from 0- fmStyleDropDownCombo
    to 2- fmStyleDropDownList

    but when i revert back this config.. am not getting this Run time error.
    Actually, i want that the values in the combo boxes are NOT editable and cant delete it.

    Is there another way that this combo box uneditable?
