I have a combo box set up with the months of the year
using the add item method. Intially, the box appears
empty. How can I make the box appear with a month already
selected? I would like it start with January, but then
display the month last selected when the user re opens
the program. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try this

Private Sub Workbook_Open()

ComboBox1.Text = "January"

End Sub

Thanks.

That workes to get something in the box. How can I make
it remember what is selected next and show that the next
time the workbook is opened?

Easy way.


Private Sub ComboBox1_Change()
Sheet2.Range("A1") = Sheet1.ComboBox1.Text
End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
If Sheet2.Range("A1") = "" Then
Sheet1.ComboBox1.Text = "January"
Sheet2.Range("A1") = "January"
Else
Sheet1.ComboBox1.Text = Sheet2.Range("A1")
End If
End Sub

Make sure Sheet2 Cell A1 is formatted as Text


Another way is to write a file using FSO
