How to use named ranges in excel vba?

[maverick1714]

I have worksheet that I use for LEAN managment with risk management, etc. on the first sheet there is a user form that inputs data to the "database" sheet.
Database sheets has several columns of data and if i want to insert a column at the A1 column then it messes all my comboboxes and textboxes that refer
to the "database" sheet. The problem is I hardcoded all comboboxes and textboxes on the userform and now I have to add some more options on the user form that inputs data on the "database" sheet.

I searched on the internet and found that I could use "named ranges" instead so that I can insert new columns without messing up my comboboxes and textboxes. I tried expermenting with named ranges without sucess so maybe one of you guys can point me in the right direction.

Your post does not comply with Rule 3 of our Forum RULES. Use code tags around code. Posting code without them makes your code hard to read and difficult to be copied for testing. Highlight your code and click the # at the top of your post window. For more information about these and other tags, found here

I can't see where your code uses the named range

To best describe or illustrate your problem you would be better off attaching a dummy workbook, the workbook should contain the same structure and some dummy data of the same type as the type you have in your real workbook - so, if a cell contains numbers & letters in this format abc-123 then that should be reflected in the dummy workbook. Don't upload a picture when you have a workbook question. None of us is inclined to recreate your data. Upload the workbook and manually add an 'after' situation so that we can see what you expect. In addition clearly explain how you get the results..
To attach a file to your post, you need to be using the main 'New Post' or 'New Thread' page and not 'Quick Reply'.
To use the main 'New Post' page, click the 'Post Reply' button in the relevant thread.

On this page, below the message box, you will find a button labelled 'Manage Attachments'.
Clicking this button will open a new window for uploading attachments.

You can upload an attachment either from your computer or from another URL by using the appropriate box on this page.
Alternatively you can click the Attachment Icon to open this page.

To upload a file from your computer, click the 'Browse' button and locate the file.

To upload a file from another URL, enter the full URL for the file in the second box on this page.
Once you have completed one of the boxes, click 'Upload'.

Once the upload is completed the file name will appear below the input boxes in this window.
You can then close the window to return to the new post screen.

I can't see where you use a Named Range anyway.
