Default Dynamically assign items to a list box

Chip,

My code is outside of the userform's code module.
How do I find out (or set) the name of the "listbox" which I want to refer
from the code ?
Sorry, but I'll start learning OOP these days.

Thank you,
Fernando

Fernando,

If your code is in the userform's code module, the Me keyword
should work fine. If the code is elsewhere, change 'Me' to the
name of the userform.

Thanks Tom, but I'm getting a compilation error with this:
me.listbox1.AddItem .Cells(rw,1).Value & " " &

.cells(rw,2).Value
^^__ Use of keyword "Me" is not valid.

Do you know what can have gone wrong?
Thank you,
Fernando

for rw = 1 to 2000 step 9

With Worksheets("Stats")
if isempty(.cells(rw,1)) then exit for
me.listbox1.AddItem .Cells(rw,1).Value & " " &

.cells(rw,2).Value
End With

Next

Hi,

Is there a way to automatically add items to a list box and

then
programatically act according to the item selected by the

user ?
This is the scenario:
I have a spreadsheet that keeps statistics of basketball

games. Each
time
the assistant to the coach needs to add the stats of a new

game, he/she
clicks on a button (which is linked to a macro) and a new

blank template
is
appended to the end of the sheet. Then he/she fills the

recently added
template and some calculations are done. Before exiting,

the spreadsheet
is
saved. I've been able to implement this by means of a

couple of macros
and
a
bit of user-interface design. So far, so good.
The problem is that as long as the spreadsheet grows, it is

more and
more
time-consuming to locate the stats of any given game,

requiring many
page-up's and page-down's and/or Edit | Search, so I

thought that a
feature
to automatically "jump" to the stats of the game of choice

may come
handy.
For this task, I thought of adding a list box (which should

be linked to
a
macro) whose items must be picked from -for example- the

first cell of
the
first row of every game, and then, according to the item or

"game"
selected
by the user, jump to that stat. That simple.
I thought of creating an autoexecutable macro that

could -for example-
run
when the .XLS file is opened and create the list box on the

fly,
however,
although I can programatically parse the whole sheet and

read the
content
of
the cells that identify each game, I don't know how to feed

the content
of
these cells to the list box. I have no doubts it has to be

possible to
implement this.

I'll highly appreciate if someone points me in the right

direction to
achieve my goal.
Thank you,

Fernando Ronci
