Cannot Set Control Source Property
Aug 31, 2007
I am trying to set a controlsource property so that when a cell on a worksheeet is changed, the label will also change. However, when I try to set the controlsource I get an error that says :
Could not set the ControlSource property. Invalid property value.
I've tried it with a label in the code,
lblUser.ControlSource = Worksheets("User List").Range("C1")
and I've tried it in the properties window of a textbox, and I cannot get either to work. I've also unprotected the sheet first, thinking that might have something to do with it.

I'm trying to create a userform with a combobox wherein items that will be provided in it will be based on the worksheet named NA. When i try to change the Rowsource on the properties of the combobox i'm getting an error "could not set the rowsource property. Invalid property value". Do I need to declare the name of the worksheet before changing the rowsource?

I'm trying to use the Transition property for the multipage control without much luck. So far I have a userform with a multipage control on it.
Code:
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
With MultiPage1
.TabOrientation = fmTabOrientationLeft
.MultiRow = True
.TabFixedHeight = 30
.TabFixedWidth = 80
.Style = fmTabStyleButtons
.Value = 0
.TransitionEffect = 2 ' error here "object doesn't support prop"
End With
or...
Code:
UserForm1.MultiPage1.TransitionEffect = 2 ' same error

I have a userform which uses the tag property of the frame to determine whether a frame is visible (and hence the controls that reside within the frame). A frame contains three combo boxes, and six text boxes. The tag property of the frame matches the number of frames that are visible on the form, so that if the user selects five frames, frames 1 through five become visible and for all other frames visible = false. A frame contains all the data for a single entry. There can be up to fifty frames/ entries that are visible on the form depending on the user selection.
I want to use the visibility property to do two things: first the combo boxes are filled from an array after the user selects the number of frames (or entries). I only want to fill the comboboxes where the frame is visible. The second thing is that I have a function which uses the data from the text boxes and combo boxes as required arguments. Since these are required arguments, I will get a data mismatch error if I try to call it and the controls are empty. Therefore, I only want to call the function if the frame which houses the controls is visible.
Public Sub Visible1(Entry As String)
Dim ctrl As Control
For Each ctrl In UserForm2.Controls
If TypeName(ctrl) = "Frame" And ctrl.Tag <= Entry Then
With ctrl
.Visible = True
End With
Else
If TypeName(ctrl) = "Frame" And ctrl.Tag > Entry Then
With ctrl
.Visible = False.............

How do I reference a spin button from a variable that I set.
e.g
Dim objSpn As Object
Dim y As Integer
Set objSpn = ActiveSheet.Shapes("spnWCDate")
y = objSpn.Value
This doesn't work, but hope it explains what I want. It's so I dont have to write the whole object name each time I reference it.
ADDED: I've just noticed that this doesn't work even i do reference the object with the full name. I copied this from a forms spin control that I was using, why can't i store the value of the spin button in a variable?

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 have a workbork for employee time keeping. I have designed an Input Box that has 15 text boxes (7 diff hour types, 2 weeks, one total box). I have everything working properly except I want to make the control source relative. When the user clicks on a name of an employee (A column), then clicks the macro button, the Input Box appears. I need the text boxes to be linked to the cells E:S on the same row as the active cell. I've tried typing in ActiveCell.Offset(0,4) and variants of it, but all are rejected. How can I link the text boxes using active cell and offset?

why this is causing an error upon opening the file. This workbook has a userform with a listbox (single list, single selection), and when I have the ControlSource property set it causes an error upon opening the userform (which opens when the file is opened), whereas if I do not have the ControlSource property set to anything, it seems to work fine.
Interestingly, if I set the file up to not open the userform with the file, and instead have the userform open when a worksheet control such as a command button is clicked, it doesn't seem to matter if the ControlSource property is set or not. The workbook in question is attached.

Excel – Forms – Combo Box, cell updating.
I have a form (the main one) which accesses a second form, which accesses a third form. All forms have a combo box, control button and a text box.
The items selected in the control boxes are entered into cells (the base cells) in the spreadsheet, via “Control Source”. The text boxes access these cells and show the selected items, which are then copied to other cells via a macro on activating the control button in the main form.
The main form stays open while other items are selected and transferred. Some of the items may not be changed (reselected) as they may be common. The problem is that after a number of items have been selected and transferred, the base cells for the second and third text boxes do not update after a selection from the combo boxes, and they continue to show a previously selected item.
The problem can be solved by closing the 2nd and 3rd forms and starting again. What can I do keep the cells updating without closing the form down?

I have created an excel worksheet that will provide budgeting and estimating tools for my project managers. All data used to be manual entry and took a good while to complete. I am trying to automate the process with VBA.
I created a UserForm called InfoVerify1. On that form I have TextBox 1 - 10. When the UF opens, the boxes display project information from my worksheet called "Basis of Estimate", also known as Sheet26.
The TextBox1 ControlSource is set to "E4". When I run the macro with Sheet26 active, the proper information fills in. However, when I am on the Start page or any other worksheet and I run the macro, it tries to fill in the text boxes with E4, etc, from the active sheet. I tried changing the ControlSource to "Sheet26,E4" or any combo thereof with only error messages.
how to get it to refer to a cell on a particular worksheet and hold to that worksheet no matter which sheet I am on at the time I run the Userform?

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.

Is there any way in VBA to refer to a control in its own event procedure without referring to it by name/hard-coding?
It might be clearer to explain by a dummy code example:

I have created a userform within VBA which has a TreeView Control and a Spreadsheet control on it.
I have populated the TreeView control with data and what I want to be able to do is to drag the nodes off the TreeView control to the spreadsheet control.
I can drag onto a normal worksheet but not onto the spreadsheet control (the no drop mouse pointer keeps showing).

How do I determine which control the user is currently modifying on a multipage form (either changing, enterying or exiting the specific control). when I use "userform1.activecontrol" i get "multipage1" as the control name but I need the actual control on the specific active multipage. (also the .TABINDEX is for the multipage regardless of the on-page control) I use a generic data-field change SUBroutine so need the control name (and the TABINDEX) to provide my SELECT CASE. (so every fieldname_CHANGE calls the same SUB [with no parameters])

I have a report that was created for 2005 that contains two worksheets: a "source data" worksheet and a " pivot table" worksheet. I cleared out the 2005 data in the "source data" worksheet and replaced it with 2006 data...after this I refreshed the Pivot Table and everything seemed fine. When looking at the file size I noticed that it was almost twice its original size....upon further investigation I found that the Pivot Table was internally holding onto the old source data (the "Show" functionality of the rows/columns in the table lists the 2005 row/column headers as well as the 2006 headers....even though no data from 2005 is shown in the Pivot Table).
Does anyone know how to purge the old data from the internal Pivot Table memory?
I hope this is enough information....let me know if you need more.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Jon

Has anyone out their ever seen an Calendar type of control totally built in an Excel vba UserForm?
My problem that I’ve tried to resolve for some time is utilizing some type of pop-up calendar to eliminate format issues in my published Excel forms. I have tried a number of calendar controls but all have to be registered on the local machine and this cannot be guarantied for every machine.
If someone could direct me to a vba UserForm that has this built in that might do the trick. Or is their another way to deal with this?

For some reason my selection won't return to where it's supposed to in a listbox after I've increased it's column widths. It's very strange.
I've put together an example of the issue as the actual workbook is enormous, but the demonstration seems to work.
I've tried exporting the Listindex resetting code to an external function, but it didn't help either.
Can anyone understand this behaviour?

i was searching in VBA help & found this example:
a macro that steps through the list of files found during a search and displays the path for each file.
With Application.FileSearch
For i = 1 To .FoundFiles.Count
MsgBox .FoundFiles(i)
Next I
End With
how can i modify this macro so that it displays only
the file name not the full path
for example instead of displaying
"C:Documents and SettingsDesktopMainstatment1.txt"
i want it to display
"statment1.txt"

macros in excel XP.
I written up a marco code to do series of calculations for me. I have one program that will use different matrix size (say 5 rows by 5 colums for one set of calcuations and open up another, but with 105 rows and 35 columns)
Now,
the way it works is the user input data in row 1 and column 1 and the marco does the following codes-
Dim numrows As Integer
Dim numcols As Integer
numrows=worksheets("template").usedrange.rows.count
numcols=worksheets("template").usedrange.columsn.count
thisworkbook. names.add "matrix",,,,,,,,"=!r2c2:r" & numrows & "c" & numcols
this code defines my range that will be used in the formulas further down the code.
the problem is that I test ran the code using the matrix=b2:ai105
and I was using the code for a run with matrix=b2:q77
but the code is giving me the range from the previous macro run (ie. b2:ai105) and want it to use the matrix based on new data size (say b2:q77).
I tried using activesheet.usedrange into the macro, but it does not work.
Basically I need to "reset" usedrange property so it uses the correct range every time.

With Sheet4
ActiveSheet.Unprotect Key
.Rows("13:252").EntireRow.Hidden = False
If Me.OptionButton1.Value = True Then
.Range("MyMrate").Range(Cells(Val(Me.TextBox1), 1), Cells(Val(Me.ComboBox1), 1)).Value = .OLEObjects("TextBox" & i).Object.Text
.Range("MyMcash").Range(Cells(Val(Me.TextBox1), 1), Cells(Val(Me.ComboBox1), 1)).Value = (.OLEObjects("TextBox" & i).Object.Text * (Range("MyRSF") / 12))
ElseIf Me.OptionButton2.Value = True Then
End If
End With
For some reason, once the code runs, it calls this code,
Private Sub combobox1_Change()
Me.TextBox2.Enabled = Me.ComboBox1 ""
If Me.ComboBox1 = "" Then
Me.TextBox2.BackColor = RGB(225, 225, 225)
Else
Me.TextBox2.BackColor = RGB(255, 255, 255)
End If
End Sub
And then I get an error message that the code could not set the enable property of Textbox2.
