I have a user form that contains a combo box.

The rowsource is a named range in Excel. If I put the named range in the
properties box of the combobox on the form, the form and combobox control
appears when called but the combo box is blank.

The row souce is on a different worksheet inthe same workbook from the sheet
that is active when the form is called. I have tried renaming the rowsource
when the form is initialized as follows (Iterations commented out).

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()

Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Worksheets("Imp")
'Me.ctrlMajorEventList.RowSource = "Imp!$d$1:$d$32" (shows blank data
against current weeksheet, where data exists.
'Me.ctrlMajorEventList.RowSource = MajorEventList (shows Blank data, major
eventlist is a rangename)
'Me.ctrlmajorEventList.Rowsource = "''Major events'!b1:b30" ) (Shows blank
data agianst a separte sheet where data exists)

End Sub





Whether I use:
Me.ctrlEventList.RowSource = MajorEventList

or

Me.ctrlEventList.RowSource = "'Major Events'!b1:b30"

I get no error message, but I also get no data showing in the form.

I call the form using:

frmSelectMajorEvent.Show

When it opens, it should initialize itself, right? Or do I need to open the
form and also call the initalize routine to initialize the data source?
