    "Not Enough memory to display" error when dropdown values in combo are selected

    Hi,

    When i selected a dropdown value in combobox in Macro-enabled Excel, it shows an error most of the times showing "Not Enough memory to display".

    There are not many values in the Combobox still it shows the error.

    This error keep on occuring again and again hence the necessary code in the combobox doesn't run. As a result do not get the excepted result.

    Could anyone please help me as it very urgent for me to solve this problem?

    Make sure the references to the comboboxes are fully qualified.

    Userform1.ComboBox1...
    Sheet1.ComboBox1....

    Thank you very much for the reply David.

    I gave fully qualified name to all the combos present in the workbook but it doesn't work.

    The exact error it shows is"Not enough system resourses to display completely" . It doesn't occur all the time but it occurs sometime.

    I don't know what to do.

    Kindly please help.

    Thank you in advance.

    How much code do you have? How large is the workbook?

    It would help us determine the problem if you would at the minimum post the code (or even upload the workbook).

    It contains four sheets and the code is not much and neither much controls on it. .

    The workbook is developed in Excel 2003.

    two sheet has 3 combos each.

    One sheet has 110 combos.

    It doesn't show this error on the sheet which has 110 combos but it shows on one containing 3 combos.

    It's very difficult to troubleshoot intermittent errors.

    Try hard coding the range to the combobox values.

    If you use rowsource, switch to Range"A1:A" & lastrow) and loop through the range, adding the items to the combobox.

    In other words, try changing dynamic values with static ones to try and isolate the problem.

    Try creating a new workbook, adding items back one at a time.
