meaning of Dynamic?
Dynamic and static are opposites. Static refers to something rigid an
unchanging, dynamic is something easily modified and even set up t modify itself to be useful in a number of different circumstances. It's a pretty widely used term that generally points to flexibility i some way. - Piku -- Message posted from http://www.ExcelForum.com |

meaning of Dynamic?
In general, 'dynamic' means 'at run time' and 'static' means 'at
compile time'. For example, a dynamic array is sized at run time depending on a variety of considerations, while a static array is sized in the code. E.g., ' dynamic array Dim Arr() As Long Redim Arr(1 To SomeRange.Cells.Count) ' static array Dim Arr(1 To 10) In the first example, the size of the array isn't determined until the code executes. In the second example, the size of the array is hard coded. -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft MVP - Excel Pearson Software Consulting, LLC www.cpearson.com "mike" wrote in message ...

meaning of Dynamic?
instead of saying
Rowsource is Sheet1!A1:A10 you might use code to determine how much data is in column A With Worksheets("sheet1") set rng = .Range(.cells(1,1),.cells(1,1).End(xldown)) End With Userform1.Listbox1.RowSource = rng.Address(external:=True) in your case, it was assumed the plant rows would not necessarily be the same for each sheet/area combination, but that there would be no empty rows. So in one area, there might be 5 rows of choices and in another 10 rows of choices. Also, the assumption was that the same list of plants would not be provided for each area. (just like every sheet did not have 4 areas, so presenting a choice of 4 would be inappropriate - present a list of what is actually available). This may not be the case. You may always provide 10 rows (although some would be empty). In that case, the approach I provided would have problems. That could be fixed, but I had to make my best guess. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "mike" wrote in message ...
