    Can't get command button click to trigger cell population

    The idea is that there is a userform which is comprised of two combo boxes. The first combobox fill the second combobox on dropbuttonclick(), and that works just fine. Based on the user's selection the userform then populates several cells, that are used in formulas and then hides the userform. I also need to come up with a line of code to recalculate the values of the formulas. Application.refresh? or .update?

    My major problem is that the cells referenced will not populate when the commandbutton is clicked, but the userform does close so the event is being triggered.

    Hello clcs,

    Sometimes when updating a UserForm from a worksheet, you need to force the UserForm to redraw to reflect any changes to controls like ComboBoxes and ListBoxes. You can do this with the following command Me.Repaint. If the worksheet needs to updated, you can add DoEvents

    Remember To Do the Following....

    1. Use code tags. Place [CODE] before the first line of code and [/CODE] after the last line of code.

    It seems I may not have included enough information because the DoEvents command does not cause the cells to be populated. I've troubleshot this piece for a few hours and just cant seem to get the case command to function properly. I'm not sure if it has some to do with the way combobox2 is filled. This is the code for the entire Userform.

    For background, ComboBox1 determines the array that fills ComboBox2, ComboBox2 is disabled by default, but is enabled after a value is selected from ComboBox1, and ComboBox2 determines the formula and text that fill the rest of the document. The problem is the Case command is not filling the document. TextBox1-4 and ComboBox3 take user imput and populates the date in the ddmmmyy hh:mm format and then closes the UserForm. Both the Date and the UserForm function but the Case command is failing to work as it is intended to. UserForm is opened on the opening of the WorkBook and serves no further purpose after initial population.

    The only other code involved in the WorkBook is in ThisWorkBook and it properly opens the UserForm when the document is opened. This code all resides in the UserForm module

    Hi clcs

    The syntax for the second Select Case appears to be incorrect. Try this
