I've tryed switching data types with "as object" with no luck. Searching for this on the web is crazy. It seems everyone wants some pointers on using excel.

Hello Rando4,

Neither Visual Basic nor Visual Basic for Applications use object pointers in the traditional sense of a pointer. I have made the changes to the code to do what you want.

By the way, do you want all for ComboBoxes to be filled with the same range data?

Public Sub showForm()
Dim a as Object
For i = 1 To 4
set a = Userform1.Controls("Combobox" & i)
a.ColumnCount = 1
a.RowSource = "Sheet1!A2:A11"
Next i
UserForm1.Show
End Sub
