dividing a number amongst 3 textboxses with "1" number at a time

Hi all

Making slow, but steady progress with my "learn yourself VBA programming" i never the less has run into a problem i would really appriciate some help soving...

The case is as follows... making a userform, i have a textbox that the user puts a number into (something like 1 to 1000, but always an integer). Then the user checks of any number (and combination) of 3 checkbox's i have in the userform. Below the checkboxes are 3 textboxes, one for each checkbox... what i need is a code that will take the integer number from the first textbox and divede that number amongst the appropriate textboxes, with 1 at a time... and ofc only assign numbers to the textboxes with checkboxes ticket of (true)??

Just to clearify, ill try and make up 2 scenarios..

1. user enters 38 in the first textbox... and theb ticks off all 3 checkboxes... then the code should divide the number of 38 to the 3 textboxes, so that textbox2 ends up with the value of 13, textbox3 = 13 and last textbox4 = 12.... (13 + 13 + 12 = 38)

2. user stil enters 38, but this time only ticks of checkbox 1 and checkbox 3... then both textbox2 and textbox4 should end up with the value of 19...


Anyone got an idea how to solve this??

my own thoughts are that it must be something in the line of getting the code to reckognise wich checkboxes are true and then lopping through the corresponding textboxes as many times as the number entered in textbox 1, each time adding +1 to the textbox value... but bugger, i cant "code" that (yet...)... any help will be greatly appriciatet...


best regards

PS. the eventhandler part i think i can handle... so only the code for the assigning of numbers are needed

Why not just count the no of checkboxes that are true and divide the number entered by that?

Try this code in your userform

I should have added that the values would need rounding if required.

Hi event

Txh for the suggestion...

Funny stuff was that after posting here i managed to figure out a way to do it (kinda like when you take your broken electrical gadget to the store and says "Hi, this one's broken", and the repair guy there turns it on and everything works just fine....)...

Heres how i managed to get it to work... please feel free to comment... initially my thoughts where that "my way" where simpler then your suggestion... but that also makes me suspect that mine could have som "build-in" flaws.... so please comment if you c any..
