your telling excel to set the range A1:a12 = to the form's combobox value. if
the combobox is empty, range("A1:A12") will be empty.

Can you tell me why when I run this userform that it erases the values in the
range A1:A12?
The userform initialize procedure runs but it erases the values in the cells
A1:A12 and it doens't have the list in the comboBox but other than that it
runs.

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()

ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("patients").Range("A1:A12" ) = Me.ComboBox2.Value

End Sub

And I ran it several times and get the same results.

What am I missing?
tnx,
