Userform Won't Initialize - Could Not Set List Property
May 31, 2013
I have a user form called frmAddRepresentative. Under the Initialize event I have the following code.
Code:
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
'This procedure runs when the frmAddRepresentative form 'is initialized. The procedure sets the repInformation
'sheet as the look sheet sends the focus to the combo box 'used to enter the name and updates the combo list
Set WS = calcRepInformation
UpdateComboLists
Me.cboRepName.SetFocus
End Sub
I am getting the following error: Could not set the List property. Type mismatch. I have the exact same code on other sheets and it works fine.
I have one userform that loads combobox values upon userform Initialize. Though through a second userform changes can be made to anotherworkbook this workbook is saves any changes. when i close the second userform i need to rerun the 1st userform Initialize event to update the combobox's incase changes have been made.
When I run the userform initialize procedure to reset the values in text boxes and the like instead of resetting like it should, now it closes the userform completely and then won't allow me to show it again, what could be the problem?
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize() Me.MultiPage1.Value = 0 TextBox3.Value = ActiveWorkbook. Sheets("Sales Invoice"). Range("G15").Value Dim hWndForm As Long Dim hMenu As Long hWndForm = FindWindow("ThunderDFrame", Me.Caption) 'XL2000 hMenu = GetSystemMenu(hWndForm, 0) DeleteMenu hMenu, SC_CLOSE, 0& End Sub
The Dim stuff down is to gray out the x button, there are also some module level declarations to go with that...
Private Declare Function FindWindow Lib "user32" Alias "FindWindowA" (ByVal lpClassName As String, ByVal lpWindowName As String) As Long Private Declare Function GetSystemMenu Lib "user32" (ByVal hWnd As Long, ByVal bRevert As Long) As Long Private Declare Function DeleteMenu Lib "user32" (ByVal hMenu As Long, ByVal nPosition As Long, ByVal wFlags As Long) As Long Private Const SC_CLOSE As Long = &HF060
the userform shows when the workbook opens and is then hidden when the user has finished entering values, then when the user goes through the process of being asked to print and save, they are then asked if they would like to create a new record, if yes then it shows the userform again, but the userform is still filled with all the stuff previously entered. I tried using the unload me instead of hiding and that wouldn't work at all, didn't give errors just didn't show the userform either, this at least shows the userform, but now when the user goes to clear the information by initializing the userform again, it simply closes the userform and then it can't be shown again either.

This is the link to the ZIP, and here are some instructions for setting it up to work.
The contents of this need to be unzipped into a folder called SyntheticShield that is placed in the C: drive that way all paths begin with C:SyntheticShield and then the other folders or files will be referenced correctly. The template I'm having problems with is the SyntheticShieldInvoiceMaker template, when you open it you'll be prompted whether you want to create a new invoice, number is final blah blah blah, say yes, then it will ask if you are importing from the Quotemaker which you aren't say no, it should then show the userform as it should. Then you can go through that process and by pressing either the create invoice or go to template directly whatever, you can hide the userform. Then you press the command button (red) a userform is brought up asking if you'd like to save without emailing, save with emailing or close controls, as for right now, I'm just getting the save without emailing to work the rest is all the same just a few tidbits of code. So click save without emailing, it should then prompt an are you sure message box, click yes it will do some things, then it will ask if you want to print, click no, then it will ask do you want to create a new invoice, click yes, this should then start the process all over again by calling the workbook_open procedure, however, when you go through everything, and click no to the import from quotemaker part it won't show the userform. And at one point it would, but then I couldn't initialize the userform without it disappearing and not being allowed to be shown...I tried putting a command button on the template to show the userform, but it wouldn't do it either.
Public Sub Timesht() userform1.Show End Sub And this in my UserForm module:
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize() '//Populate ComboBox1 Sheet1.Range("K5", Sheet1.Range("K65536").End(xlUp)).Name = "CODE" userform1.ComboBox1.RowSource = "DATA BASE!CODE" End Sub I have a named range as "CODE" in my DATA BASE!, sheet1.
I keep getting an error: " 380: Could not set the RowSource property. Invalid property value."
when I type in UserForm1 and arrow down. in turns into lowercase letters.
I have two userform combo boxes, the second follows up on the results of the first.
The second Combo Box looks for incomplete fields and provides them in a drop box. If the data the second Combo Box is looking at (This is different data than the first Combo Box is looking at.) is complete it updates the field, if not then it adds it to the drop down list.
My problem is this, if it finds everything updated and nothing is added to the drop-down list, how do I exit? I just want a complete break where all programming ends.
I am in the Initialize subroutine and I have tried Exit Sub and it still brings up the user form.
The initialization code of a userform I'm using has started causing me 'Runtime Error 13, Type Missmatch' and I can't figure out why. Can anyone see a reason why I may be experiencing this,
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize() 'Get Last Entry Dim countnonblank As Integer, myRange As Range Dim SDate As Date, SDateRange As String, EDate As Date Dim SDateString As String, EDateString As String, DirString As String
'count cells with data in them Set myRange = Sheets("textfilemerger").Range("A:A") countnonblank = Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(myRange) 'decide if data is present or not If countnonblank = 1 Then.............................
I am trying to SetFocus on a single textbox in a simple form. I am not sure if I am doing it right.
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
' On Error Resume Next
' Dim rheadings, cl As Range ' ' Set rheadings = Worksheets("CONTACT").Range("A1:F1") ' For Each cl In rheadings ' Me.cbxSearchWhere.AddItem cl.Value ' Next cl
With Me tbxSearchCrit.SetFocus End With End Sub
Kind regards, Mentor Auto Merged Post Until 24 Hrs Passes;Hi: I answered my own query - just commented out the setfocus instruction and it defaults to the first, and only, textbox by default
I have a userform that creates labels and checkboxes for those lables on the initialize event based on an if statement. I would keep getting an error on a line where I try and use the name of one of those created checkboxes of "variable not defined" as if it hasn't been created, but it was.. Here is the code for the creation:
'Option Explicit Private Sub UserForm_Initialize() 'dynamically add the tickers and funds based on if there is any data inputs for them.
'declaring variables Dim lbl As MSForms.Label Dim i As Integer Dim x As Integer Dim newcheckbox As MSForms.CheckBox
'selects the summary page Sheet1.Select
For i = 7 To 65 If Cells(i, 3) "" Then..................
I have a userform that has a multi page on it with 4 pages. I notice that there is no way to have the individual pages be set to a click event- or none that I see anyways. What I am wanting is for a series of events to happen based on what page the user chooses from the four (like a userform initialize type event).
I have a form with several combo boxes, and they function just the way I like as far as being able to pick from the list, or typing in them and having it show you the next available item in the list as you add letters. Whats happening that I would like to know how to deal with is... as soon as you type a letter that is not in my lookup range it generates an error. "Could not get the list property - Invalid property array index". I don't want people to be able to add to the list, but I would like a msgbox to pop up. Then allow them to go back to the box and try again.
In A1, other code inserts the name of a Form control (textBox, comboBox etc), and in B1 it inserts the name of a Property that is always valid for the A1 control. I want to concatenate these two items to produce a formula in C1 that evaluates the current value of the Property on the running form and continues to update with each recalc. It's ok if I have to force a recalc to get the latest values.
The code feeding the items to A1 and B1 and which will be harvesting the Property values from C1 is running in the same Form that holds the controls being referenced. So if A1= "Label1" and B1 = "BackColor", then in C1 I'd like the same result as if in VBA I said X = Label1.backcolor. I think that what I need is the Evaluate function, but I've read Arron's article on it I just can't seem to make it work here.
I created a form that my employees could use to log their work. When I toggle between the combobox and the qtytextbox I get an "invalid property value" error that debugs to the line of code that opens the userform. I have no idea how to fix this. The spreadsheet has a button that shows the userform. This code is:
Private Sub rectangle1_click() If frmLCWork.Visible = False Then frmLCWork.Show Exit Sub End Sub
The userform has a combobox for employees to select the completed "task", a quantity textbox and then an "add to log" button. The form code is:
Option Explicit Private Sub cmdAdd_Click() Dim sStep As String Dim Row As Long 'check for a task If Trim(Me.cbxTask.Value) = "" Then Me.cbxTask.SetFocus MsgBox "Please specify which task you completed." Exit Sub End If....................
I want to display a string to users. Normally I would do that using message boxes. But that would not give me enough control over the font size, and I want to display using font size 48.
I could have used global variables, but that is not a good coding way. The other way of doing that is using property procedures. I could pass a string variable to a Label control on the form and then could format it.
I just tried installing a basic macro which reads from a shared file on the office server onto my colleagues computers. Works find on mine but doesn't work on theirs "Could not set the list property index". When I comment out the offending line, the form loads just fine but obviously without the listbox populated. The line is:
I would like to take a List of numbers, which come from a separate spreadsheet, place them into a UserForm text box and then use a command button to input the list of numbers into a column of cells. The list would often vary, between 1 and 10 entries. But if I could do this, I would be able to resolve an issue with my spreadsheet that continues to haunt me (the dreaded number stored as text.....). I know that you can assign a single textbox value to a single range-cell value. But if I could input a list at a time, it would obviously save a lot of effort.
Example
In spreadsheet #1, I would copy the list below.
25466 87550 66985 44252
In the user form I would paste these numbers into the text box and they would be input into Sheet #2
I figured out how to populate the ComboBox, but I have to manually step through the code to do it. How do I get it to populate the values when the spreadsheet is opened?
Then, what I want to do is have the cell formula depend on one of two selections in the ComboBox.
Dim mdNextTime2 As Double Dim mdNextTime1 As Double Dim mdNextTime As Double Dim myCount As Integer Dim myC As Integer Sub If (myCount Mod 5 = 0) Then end IF end Sub
Now, when myCount is multiple of 5 it should go inside that loop. Instead it goes inside immediately, also when myCount = 0 So I decided to initialize myCount to 1. But the strange thing is that I don't know how?
If I write: Dim mdNextTime2 As Double Dim mdNextTime1 As Double Dim mdNextTime As Double Dim myCount As Integer = 1 Dim myC As Integer
I am running into the error, "Procedure too large". I know I need to break the range down into Arrays, so how can I hard code the values into an array? I cannot find an example to follow. Ranges: D:E,K:L,O:P,....etc. I know I can break the rows up into an array too, but one thing at a time. Here is an example of the range for D:E.
I have a userform on which there is a frame containing 8 option boxes. After a query, the results are displayed in the form. If I have a value of 1 in a cell, optionbox1 is checked; a value of 2 checks optionbox2, etc. It works great EXCEPT when first initialized. At that point, it checks the last optionbox, even if the number is 1. I have built a next and previous feature to scan the data, and when I return to the first entry, the correct box is checked. I tried coding blanks into the fields prior to populating them, but I still get the same results. Is there some explanation available so that I may remedy this? I'd really like the first piece of data to be correct.
how to declare&initialize a variable as Global in vba?
I have a variable , listGroup=Array("aaa","bbb","ccc") now i am using this variable for 3 different functions. so what i am doing is wrote the same code to 3 functions, so how i can declare&initialize this variable as global and access to all functions.
When the userform is loaded, I want the data in each range to be available in the dropdown for each respective combobox. It would be great if spaces can be removed from each list, but from what I read, this may be an issue.
Having problems with trying to get my vba code to access the SpecialCells property. Receiving the following error.... Unable to get the SpecialCells property of the Range class. The section of my code is below that is causing the error. Keeps stopping on the "Selection.SpecialCells(xlsCellTypeVisible).Select" line.
Sheets(" Book Query").Range("A6:I6").Select Sheets("Book Query").Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select Selection.SpecialCells(xlsCellTypeVisible).Select Selection.Copy Sheets("Inventories and Variances").Select Sheets("Inventories and Variances").Range("A7").Select
I have a total of 648 textboxes on my form. Some of the textboxes allow for char values, some numeric and some monetary. The problem I am running into is with the monetary. I am trying to say on initialize, I want to autoformat 208 of these textboxes to $0.00 and when the users puts in an actual amount it changes to $100.00 or whatever the amount. It would be ideal to just have the textbox blank and when the users puts in something it is formatted automatically to $100.00. Just like I would if I were formatting an Excel column or cell. Here is my code so far: (hopefully no typos in code. Cannot copy and paste as using home computer. My work computer blocks the excelforum site.
When opening a workbook, I'd like to set a Toggle Button's value to TRUE. I already have code Workbook_Open() procedure which resides in the ThisWorkbook module. This Workbook_Open() procedure already does lots of other things. I would like to add code in Workbook_Open() that would set the Toggle Button's initial value (TRUE).
The code for the Toggle Button resides in one of the Sheet modules (not the ThisWorkbook module). I attempted to set this toggle button value using the following code (see row 10), but it does not pass the compiler due to not being a defined variable.
When running a script within Excel, is there a way to cause the script to initialize or open an application other than Excel? For instance: If I desired to have the script open 'C:program.exe' is there script available for this?
