    Changed userform combobox to listbox, unable to get userform to retrieve datasheet values

    I have a basic userform that acts as an interface for supervisors to view/edit/add information to a hidden datasheet. It works fine in its current form, but I wanted to change a couple of combobox drop down lists to listboxes (single selection). The code that would update the userform combobox with existing values from the datasheet will not do the same for the listbox. I'm learning vba as I go and am having trouble figuring out how to fix it.

    Here is the code that currently works with the combobox (WOtype and Craft are the two controls that I want to change to a listbox):

    If I leave the code as it is and change the comboboxes to listboxes, I get a run-time error '424': Object required. I've tried various other things that have all been equally unsuccessful - I didn't keep a record of all the other failed attempts or their errors. This is code that works until I change the type of control box.

    Can you upload an example workbook?

    Click on GO ADVANCED and use the paperclip icon to open the upload window.

    worklog.xlsm
    worklogv3.xlsm

    worklog.xlsm is the first one that works.
    worklogv3.xlsm is the one that I've changed the comboboxes into listboxes and doesn't work.

    I think I've sorted it out.

    When I want to retrieve the listbox values from my spreadsheet to display in the userform, I used this:

    When I want to paste the listbox values from my userform into my spreadsheet, I just used
