Jennifer,

If you know that the LastRow will never change,
then you can use your line1: Const LastRow as Long =xx 'a number
That line would replace line2: Public LastRow as Long

However, if the last row with data changes then you
need to call the function that determines the row...

The example below requires you to specify the sheet from which
the bottom row is to be extracted. You would call it like this...

LastRow = FindLastRow(ActiveSheet)

'=============================================
' FindLastRow() Function
' Aug 31, 2001 - Created by Jim Cone - San Francisco, USA
' Returns the number of the last worksheet row with data.
' If the sheet is blank it returns 0.
'=============================================
Function FindLastRow(ByRef TheSheet As Excel.Worksheet) As Long
On Error GoTo NoRow
If TheSheet.FilterMode Then TheSheet.ShowAllData
FindLastRow = TheSheet.Cells.Find(what:="*", SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Row
Exit Function
NoRow:
FindLastRow = 0
End Function
'============================================

What would the function code look like?
The book went through a couple of differant steps.
1.Const LastRow = 20
2.Public LastRow As Long (it says it makes this dynamic)
3.Set the LastRow Variable by assing the following line to the
UserForm_Iniitalize event: LastRow = FindLastRow
Thanks for your help.

Jennifer,
I would assume "FindLastRow" is a function that
determines the last row with data on a worksheet.
LastRow calls the function, but the function has to
exist someplace within your project.
Get the function code from the book and add it
to any general module.
However, I don't see that "LastRow" is used within
the initialize event, so why have it in there?

I am using an example in a book and it says to add <LastRow = FindLastRow to
the UserForm_Initialize event. As you can see I did, BUT I keep getting a
"Variable not defined" rigth there. Help! Yes, I know it is probably very
basic.
Thank you!
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize

GetData
LastRow = FindLastRow

Dim cItem As Range

With Me.cboVend
For Each cItem In wksLookupLists.Range("VendorList")
.AddItem cItem.Value
.List(.ListCount - 1, 1) = cItem.Offset(0, 1).Value
Next
End With
With Me.cboRan
For Each cItem In wksLookupLists.Range("RanchIDList")
.AddItem cItem.Value
.List(.ListCount - 1, 1) = cItem.Offset(0, 1).Value
Next
End With
txtDate.Value = Date
End Sub
