Hi Paul,
The Application.Enable events setting controls only Workbook and Worksheet
events. If you need to stop the code from executing in certain circumstances,
use a global variable. Set its value such as
gbExternal = true
<do things like setting the list index of the listbox/combobox etc
gbExternal = false

and then in the actual event handler write
if gbExternal then exit sub

Hi all

I am trying to stop events as follows:

Application.EnableEvents = False
cboIssues.ListIndex = 1
Application.EnableEvents = True

The idea is that I don't want the Worksheet_Change() event to fire when
I set the ComboBox index. But as soon as I run the 2nd line, it goes
straight to the event. What am I not doing? I looked up help which
suggested I need an EventClassModule to instantiate the Application,
which I have done, but to no avail.

Any help appreciated.
