    Returning search from textbox and combobox conbined

    Afternoon,

    I have a list box that I can search for from either a TextBox or a ComboBox, but I want to do a multiple search with entries in both boxes and return the corresponding data from the data sheet, Textbox1114 looks at column B (date) and Combobox3 looks at column H (Haulier), so I need to return the data for a haulier on a certain date...

    Hopefully someone has a solution to my little problem, the code below runs the serach of the datarange and returns the search criteria but onlu based on the one text/combo box.

    Here is what I came up with. You need to change the format of data in column B to "Date".

    I tried to preserve as much of your code as possible, but it could be cleaned up a bit. You may want to look for ways to not jump around with GoTo as much.

    Is your code running too slowly?
    Does your workbook or database have a bunch of duplicate pieces of data?

    It will save both time and effort in the long run!

    Re: Returning search from textbox and combobox conbined

    Hello,

    Thanks for the replies, I've tried both suggestions, DaveGugg's version freezes I think that its in a loop and SNB's suggestion doesn't work, it will list to the sheet but not into the listbox,

    Has anyone got any suggestions, I'm trying not to go down the route of concatenating the 2 cells as a helper cell as i think there is a more elegant solution.

    thanks reg

    It worked on your sample workbook. Perhaps you could post a new workbook that demonstartes the "freeze".

    My suggestion works, but you don't.
    You may adapt my suggestion to populate the listbox.
    Can't be too complicated...(a one-liner)

    Hi DaveGugg,

    I've attached a new version of the workbook, the previous one you amended had the same date for all of column B, I've put in three different dates and it freezes when the dates are different, if its just one date it works fine.

    thanks reg

    It isn't working for haulier1 because you don't have any SHUNTERs called haulier1; they are called Haulier1. I would suggest populating combobox 3 with values in Data column H instead of hard typing them.
