Hi

You pass text from one macro to another like this:

Sub MainMan()
Dim S As String
S = ComboBox1.Text
Call SlaveMan(S)
End Sub

Sub SlaveMan(S As String)
MsgBox "Action here using text " & S
End Sub

HTH. Best wishes Harald

I was trying to write a macro in which I was copying a selection from a
combo box into a second macro which would then be run under instruction
from the first macro. However the second macro wouldn't allow me to copy
in text. Effectively what I am building is a very simple search engine,
searching a column, but I don't want to use Auto filter or custom
filter, I want a macro to take care of it all so that the user just has
one button to click on, after making a selection in the combo box.

2nd problem. I have some control buttons, and they change size, even
though I have auto formatted them not to in properties. Any
suggestions?
