Private Sub Workbook_SheetActivate(ByVal Sh As Object)

If Sh.Name = "Sheet2" Then
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").MyCombobox.Text _
= Format(Time, "hh:mm:ss.00")
End If
End Sub

worked fine for me as an example of using that notation in th
eThisworkbook
event.

Hi Everybody,

I have a ComboBox control on a Worksheet. From the code behind of the
Worksheet I am able reference it and alter it's properties

i.e. MyComboBox.Text = "Hello"

My goal is to reference that same control from the code behind of the
Workbook instead?

i.e. ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1"). ?

Thanks for any help!
Sam

P.S. ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").MyComboBox.Text doesn't work?
