Simple VBA Degub help

[Lovallo]

I am learning VBA using the dummies book, but need this to work now and would appreciate any help, it seems like it should be a simple answer.

Please Login or Register  to view this content.

This code is just to make a text box appear or disappear depending on what is selected in a combo fox. SOMETIMES (but not always) when people open this spreadsheet i get 4 warnings for the 4 appearances of this code, with the opportunity to debug and it highlights the line:

My theory is that this error's appearance is connected to whether the text boxes have been manually adjusted to true/false visibility in the properties box but im not sure. Could be missing something simple!

Thanks for any help.

Sincerely,

Alex

Hello Alex,

Welcome to the Forum!

There are two types of controls that can be placed on an Excel worksheet: Forms and ActiveX. It is not possible to tell which you are using from the posted code or where the code is located.

You should post a copy of the workbook. This will provide you with a fast working solution.

To Post Your Workbook

1. At the bottom right of the Reply window, Click the button Go Advanced
2. At the top of the Your Message Window, in the first row of icons, Click the Paperclip icon.
3. Click the Add Files button at the top right in the dialog box. This displays the File Manager dialog.
4. Click the Select Files button at the bottom middle of the dialog.
5. In the new window Find the file you want to upload, select it, and Click Open.
6. You will now be back in the File Manager dialog. Click the bottom Middle button Upload File.
7. Wait until the file has completely uploaded before you exit the File Manager dialog.

Thanks for the response!

I am using active X controls, and I believe there is a reason I chose that over forms but i am not totally sure.

I cannot attach the actual file because it's for the company. I have attached a file with the problem in it. What is really confusing me is that I can open this spreadsheet without problems most of the time. Other people will get the error to appear. I will get it to appear at random times like when i just tried to cut and paste a named range ( not one valid to the debug error)

I would also like to add a line that clear the contents of the text box when the combobox <> Other (Specify)

Thanks so much for the support, I am half way through the dummies guide!

Alex

EDIT: The problem might be along the lines of needing to declare the active object? Something like With Active.Sheet.
