Autocomplete In A Textbox Using VBA?
Dec 9, 2002
I have an excel file with a large amount of data. It is used to keep track of our firms past and current projects (on each row). The columns include data such as the name of the client and the city in which the project is located.
The excel sheet is set up with filters, so that it is easy to check which jobs we've done for client 'X', for instance, or the jobs initiated since a certain date.
In order for the filters to work properly, we need to make sure that, as an example, teh client name has to always be inputed in the same manner. Using excel's autocomplete option works well for this.
New projects are added to the top of the list. So, a new row has to be added each time a new project is inputted.
In order to automate things, I've made a userform with text/comboboxes in which the data for the new project is inputted and then placed onto the sheet once the userform is closed.
Is there a way to have the text/comboboxes on the userform use the autocomplete feature? As an example, if I'm entering the client name for a new project, is there a way to have the textbox autocomplete the client name by checking in the client column on the sheet? And, if there is more than one client starting with the same letter, is it possible to make a listbox appear showing all the clients beginning with that letter so the correct one can be picked?
Since the list of clients will always be changing, I don't want to code a certain set list, or have to continually update a list. (besides, the amount of coding would be huge considering the number of clients I would have to give it's own .AddItem)

I'd like autocomplete to work in sheet 1 (Cell B4, if it matters) checking from data in sheet 3.
It's for addresses. I want to be able to access them quickly from the first few letters then use VLOOKUP to fill in the rest (the VLOOKUP formula is done and working).

I have a long list of clientele in one column, I use a combo box to see all of these. I want to be able to type 'S' and have the drop down list automatically move me to the clients starting with "S". I know I cannot do this with data validation, so I'm pretty sure a combo box is my only choice.

when I fill the information into column B on pages 1-31 I would like it to refer to the location names from the loc-mileage sheet and fill in the suggested name as i'm typing.
I thought about doing a drop down but the list is too long and I dont want it to be set to only use the list names, only suggest names from the list.

I need to perform autocomplete on a cell as I type but I want it to activate only after I'm done typing in numbers.
For instance, the data I need to type in is an address, say '60 Yonge Street'. So, after I type in '60' I would like the autocomplete to be performed on the Street Names. Also, in column A in another sheet I have a list of all the street names.
I've used ComboBox, Data Validation and OnKey to do this before on Street Names only, but now I need to do it after I type the Street Number in.

What I want to do is click a vendor from a drop down list. When the vendor is selected, I would like the following to auto complete in their appropriate blank cells: street address, city/state/zip, phone and fax.
I have set up my page to the look I want as sheet 1. Sheet 2 is the list of vendors being column A is the names that are indicated in my drop-down list.
Column D is the street address, Column H is the city/state/zip, column M is the phone and Column Q is the fax.

I been trying to teach him but its hard work as he is old and it just doesnt sink in..and he wishes to stay in control of the work he is done.. so out goes out vba...
i trying to help input on the sheet with data validation and trying to get it working with the autocomplete work around. i took this from a page of this site...
List is Dynamic and/or Resides on Another Worksheet. Lets say your list is on Sheet2 and you wish to use the Validation List with AutoComplete on Sheet1. On Sheet1 A1 Enter =Sheet2!A1 and copy down including as many spare rows as needed (say 300 rows total). Hide these rows and use this formula in the Refers to: for a dynamic named range called MyList: =OFFSET(Sheet1!$A$1,0,0,MATCH("*",Sheet1!$A$1:$A$300,-1),1)...............

I have this long list of data (company name, company ID and OIC) on sheet 1.
Then on sheet 2, user will key in the company name manually then the company ID and OIC name will auto-populate (i did the match index already on this one) before filling in the other cells.
How do I make the cell to auto-complete the company name by using the list of data in the other sheet? Do I use the combo box? If I use the combo box, will it affect the match index formula i created for company ID and OIC?

I am using Excel 2007 and I was finally able to create a combobox for a dropdown list.
My problem is that I canīt figure out how to set the autocomplete in the properties of the box ... I simply donīt see the fmMatchEntryComplete? I am not using Data Validation which I know how to use.
I even looked at this post and that didnīt help me

Is it possible to "Autocomplete" a Vendors name in an excel cell from an Access Database of vendors and then perform a vlookup from the database for contact name, address, phone, email, etc.... in adjacent cells?
For example if I begin typing "Acc" then I automatically get a list of vendors from my vendor database in Access beginning with Acc to choose from, such as Accent Cabinet, Access Grage Doors, etc...

Hello, I'm using VBA to produce a combo box for any cell using data validation list.
This way the cell auto completes as well as displays as many fields as desired...I now have it functioning so that when you click on any cell that contains data validation list assigned to it, it will create the combo box in the cell for you...It functions great most of the time, however the sheet is used all day long and on a average 10 hour day it causes Excel to crash about 3-5 times. ....

I have seen this problem mentioned on other threads, but, didn't see the resolution. I got the below code from contextures.com's sample spreadsheet DataValComboBoxSheet.xls. When I press the tab or enter key, Excel crashes. This macro does exactly what I need which is to allow the user to autocomplete from a long list of validation values that come from another spreadsheet. The code causing the crash is the Select Case KeyCode statement when the keycode is 9 or 13. I am running Excel 2002.
Option Explicit
Private Sub TempCombo_KeyDown(ByVal _
KeyCode As MSForms.ReturnInteger, _
ByVal Shift As Integer)
'Hide combo box and move to next cell on Enter and Tab
Select Case KeyCode
Case 9
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Activate
Case 13
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Activate
Case Else
'do nothing
End Select ....................................

how to disable autocomplete for a specific cell. There is only one cell (A11) that I don't want to use auto complete but I want every other cell to be able to still autocomplete. I think it may have something to do with matchentry being set to 2, but I'm not sure how to do this.
I don't know what sintax I need to use. I've tried this line of code but it doesn't work
A11.MatchEntry = fmMatchEntryNone

I have cells containing large drop down lists (offering many possible entries). Is it possible to get excel to "jump" in the list or complete the entry automatically? If i start typing "aut", it should the drop down entry "automation". For your information, I just use Define Name and Data Validation to create the drop down list. Is it must be using VBA code or I just can use Define Name and Data Validation which has been I created?

I currently have showing 800 suppliers in a List Box... sadly when having to search for a sepcific supplier this seems to be very fustrating and time comsuming for people in the Company.
I have tried the method of copying all of the Supplier above the list, so it can do an AutoComplete filter, but the data needs to be exact.
What i would really like is if i was to type the letter "V" in the cell, it would be able to provide me with a list of the "V" suppliers in a list.

I'm using a script that when you double click on a cell containing Data Validation > List it changes to a combo box that has an autocomplete/increased columns view...It's working great, however there are two small modifications I would love to do and am not having much success with. Currently, you double click the cell w/the Data Validation > List in it, it then changes to a combo box and you can auto complete using the keyboard or select the dropdown and choose from an increased list. However, I would like to be able to simply single click on the cell, have it change to the combo box and auto expand the list if possible.
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, _
Cancel As Boolean)
Dim str As String
Dim cboTemp As OLEObject
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim wsList As Worksheet
Set ws = ActiveSheet
Set wsList = Sheets("Rep Assist Report")
Cancel = True
Set cboTemp = ws.OLEObjects("RepName1")
On Error Resume Next
With cboTemp
.ListFillRange = ""
.LinkedCell = ""
.Visible = False
End With
On Error Goto errHandler
If Target.Validation.Type = 3 Then.....................

I am attempting to format some TextBoxes from within a For/Next loop. I need a way to check which TextBox is the active TextBox in the loop. Using i as the variable, I came up with this code snippet: Me.Controls("TB" & i).Text = Format("TB" & i, "mm/dd/yy")
If i = 3, this gives me in TextBox3 (which is called TB3) the text 'TB3' and not the value of what is in TB3. It has got to bo something simple, I just can't see it!!!

Is there a way without using code to have the text in a text box (excel 2003), copied to another cell or another text box on a different worksheet?
I have information in a text box on 1 worksheet. I would like this information to automatically be copied to another worksheet. On the master sheet, if any of the information gets changed or updated, the copied information should get updated as well.

I've been using the following code to conditionally format userform textboxes based on a specific value (in this case 2490):
[Code] ........
What I'm looking to do now is amend this so rather than use a specific value, to use the value in a specific textbox on the same userform.

I need a userform textbox event that fires after I tab or click out of the textbox. Going by the list of options:Beforedragover, BeforeDroporPaste, Change, DblClick, DropButtonClick, Error, Keydown, Keypress, keyup, mousedown, mousemove, mouseup.
I can't figure out which one will do what I want. The change event happens instantaneously which doesn't work. I need to fire off the event when my focus leaves the textbox.

Code:
Private Sub cmdSearchButton_Click()
Dim txtbox As String 'stores lookup value
Dim x As Variant 'value for wwid txt box
Dim ForeName As String
Dim SurName As String
Dim wwid As Variant
Dim iPosition As Integer
[Code] .......
Here is my code, it does a vlookup and if the persons name is not found it will split the text entered into forename and surname but when i try and add
Code:
frmAdd.txtForename.Text = "&ForeName &"
frmAdd.txtSurname.Text = "&SureName &"
It actually displays &ForeName & in the text box of the next from rather than what ForeName is..
eg. John Smith -> search button -> user not found msg -> user wants to add user -> string is split into forename and surname -> forename = John , surname = Smith -> display this in the second form.
What code should i be using to do this, i thought that &ForeName & would work.

I have a form that has three fields (1. Comments (TEXT), 2. Legacy_Comments (TEXT), 3, Comment date (DATE))
Now my users need to keep adding comments to the comment text box, and when they do it automatically adds the date they entered the comment in the Comment date box. Now my problem is that since they keep adding comments to the comment box, I need to keep track of these comments in the Legacy_Comments (Text box).
For example, the First time a user enters a comment into the (1) comment text box it auto populates the date in the comment date box, and then adds the comment and date to the Legacy_Comment box. the end result is (comment,4/3/2014 now lets say a user needs to add a comment to the comments box tomorrow - I want the legacy_Comment box to then read (comment, 4/3/2014; comment2, 4/4/2014, ...., comment(n),date(n)) OR it can be vice-verse, because I just need to keep track of the comments, I am not worried if the new comments are before or after older (yesterdays / the day before yesterdays comments)
How can I write a VBA code that will always add the new comment to the legacy_comment field, without deleting the comments that were entered previously?
Code:
If isnull(me.comment.value) Then
Exit Sub
ElseIf me.comment.value = true Then
me.comment_date.value = date
me.legacy_comment.value = me.comment.value & "," & me.comment_date.value & ";"
me.legacy_comment.value = me.legacy_comment.value & "," & me.comment_date.value & ";"
It adds the comment only the first time, but it does not concatenate the string from yesterday to the string to today. I do not care which order the comments are, meaning if I added a comment today it can be before OR after the comment from yesterday.

I have a two-page multipage form. I have a textbox on page 1 (txtOccupantLoad), and I want to pass the value from that textbox to another textbox (txtOccLoad_L1) on page 2. The code I've tried so far looks like this:
Private Sub cmbChooseLevel_Change()
If Me.cmbChooseLevel.Value = "Level 1" Then
Me.txtOccLoad_L1.Value = Me.txtOccupantLoad.Value
End If
End Sub
What I'm trying to do is to use the same form for 10 different levels (floors) of a building. Then on page 2, I'll itemize the values for each floor. So the combobox determines which floor the calculations are for; txtOccupantLoad is the total of all incremental occupant loads on that floor; and txtOccLoad_L1 is the first of a series of textboxes on page 2 where the value for Level 1 should go. If the combo box shows "Level 2" then I'll write new code for the txtOccLoad_L2, and so on. I've also tried including "page1." and "page2." after "me."

I am trying to create a user form that has a series of text boxes that will all have a VLOOKUP function in them based off of input from a the first text box. If I can just get the code for the first one, I think I can figure out the rest. We will say that the file that the user form is contained in is 'Agent Administration' and the file that I want the VLOOKUP to pull from is called ' Roster for Auto Population'.
