Populate combo box for Userform in Excel 2002

[Myrna Rodriguez]

Hi...
I created a UserForm containing 2 combo boxes.
UserForm will be used for data entry in excel.
I've enter the code in the module sheet.
When I run for module sheet, combo box displays list.
However when I run from Userform sheet, not successful.
Any guidance?? Where did I go wrong?
Thanks & have a happy day...
Myrna

This this code I've used:
Sub PopulateComboBox()
Dim MyArray As Variant
Dim MyStorage As Variant
Dim Ctr As Integer
MyArray = Array("Open", "Closed", "Cancelled")
MyStorage = Array("Open", "Archived", "Post-Close")
For Ctr = LBound(MyArray) To UBound(MyArray)
UserForm1.cbostatus.AddItem MyArray(Ctr)
UserForm1.cbostorage.AddItem MyStorage(Ctr)
Next

UserForm1.Show

End Sub

Myrna,

Presumably, if you run it from the Userform, you are saying that the form is
already visible. If so, the Show is going to error.

Hi Bob,

The UserForm displays when I run but does not populate the combo boxes.

In MyModule I have the following code to display form:
Sub ShowDialog()
UserForm1.Show
End Sub

When I select MyModule & run program the combo box populates. confused?
thanks for your immediate response!

The populate routine is in MyModule.
Still having trouble viewing items in combo box.
A day of mind tingling fluster...

Sub ShowDialog()
UserForm1.Show
End Sub

Sub PopulateComboBox()
Dim MyArray As Variant
Dim MyStorage As Variant
Dim Ctr As Integer
MyArray = Array("Open", "Closed", "Cancelled")
MyStorage = Array("Open", "Archived", "Post-Close")
For Ctr = LBound(MyArray) To UBound(MyArray)
UserForm1.cbostatus.AddItem MyArray(Ctr)
UserForm1.cbostorage.AddItem MyStorage(Ctr)
Next

UserForm1.Show
End Sub

Myrna,

If you want to populate the combobox, you need to call the PopulateComboBox
routine from somewhere within the userform initialisation code. But you
also need to remove the Userform1.Show within it.
