Hello Bob
Thanks for your offer of help but I must be getting the hang of this VBA
thing as I think its working OK now!
I even managed to understand one of Tom Ogilvys posts (thats a first for me)
<vbg
Check out my code to see how I got it to work. I have only posted the spin
button code as there is too much relating to things that work OK (and I am
too ashamed of my messy coding) <g
Regards
Kenny

For some reason the code you gave me returned a number two less than
what
was entered.
The number I entered is an ID number in column A
I presume Excel sees this numberin the TextBox as a Row number as my ID
number (x) is in Row (x-2)
Oddly enough I answered my own question in my last thread - when I added
+2
to your code it returned the value I expected.
Many thanks again
Kenny

Thanks Bob
If I type in 40 then click spinup it returns 38??
This is because it is refering to row numbers and 38 is row 41
columnA
value! (it is working because it has advanced one row!)
Is it possible to advance 2 rows down
something like
SpinButton1.Value = TextBox1.Text+2
TIA
Kenny

Just add this
Private Sub TextBox1_Exit(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean)
SpinButton1.Value = TextBox1.Text
End Sub

Many thanks Tom
I have got it working on my userform apart from 1 problem which
I
cannot
fix.
If I enter a number into TextBox2 then click spinup/down I would
like
the
number in textbox2 to advance/decrease by one.
With my code TextBox2 is populated with a low number then spins
from
that
number!
How do I correct this?
Sample of my code below
Many thanks
Kenny
Private Sub UserForm_initialize()
SpinButton1.Max = 3000
SpinButton1.Min = 4
SpinButton1.Value = 4
End Sub
Private Sub SpinButton1_SpinUp()
idex = SpinButton1.Value
With Worksheets(1)
TextBox2.Text = .Range("A1")(idex)
End With
ans = LogEntry.TextBox2.Value
res = Application.Match(CLng(ans), Range("A4:A3000"), 0)
Range("A4:A3000")(res).Activate
IdentRetrieve1
End Sub
Private Sub SpinButton1_SpinDown()
idex = SpinButton1.Value
With Worksheets(1)
TextBox2.Text = .Range("A1")(idex)
End With
ans = LogEntry.TextBox2.Value
res = Application.Match(CLng(ans), Range("A4:A3000"), 0)
Range("A4:A3000")(res).Activate
IdentRetrieve1
End Sub

There is no trick to it.
Use the spinup and spindown events to increment an index into
your
range
and
retrieve the value. Assign the retrieved value to the
textbox.
Set
the
min and max values so the spinbutton will not go outside your
range.
Private Sub SpinButton1_SpinUp()
idex = SpinButton1.Value
With Worksheets(1)
TextBox2.Text = .Range("A1")(idex)
End With
End Sub
Private Sub SpinButton1_SpinDown()
idex = SpinButton1.Value
With Worksheets(1)
TextBox2.Text = .Range("A1")(idex)
End With
End Sub
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
SpinButton1.Max = 20
SpinButton1.Min = 1
SpinButton1.Value = 10
End Sub
The buttons in this case work opposite of the rows (spindown
increases
the
row addressed). However, with increasing values in the cell,
it
works
OK
depending on your perspective. However, if you want to have
spinup
decrease
the row (arrow points in the direction of row change), you can
use
Private Sub SpinButton1_SpinUp()
idex = 21 - SpinButton1.Value
With Worksheets(1)
TextBox2.Text = .Range("A1")(idex)
End With
End Sub
as an example (similar change in SpinDown).

Hello everyone
Can anyone direct me to a site where I can learn how to code
a
spin
button?
I have not used one before and I have not got a clue where
to
start!
I want to use it in the following manner,
I have an Excel database that has a userform for entering
and
retreiving
data. The form has several fields - one of which is
TextBox2
which
shows
the entry number.
I would like to add a spinner to TextBox2 so I can select
the
previous
or
next entry and show the details in the other fields.
I would be glad of any advice!
