Hi all

I have a UserForm with various controls (textboxes, listbox,
checkboxes, etc) that I wish to clear with one button, and populate
with default values with another button.

This all works fine ONLY IF the textboxes do not have their
ControlSource property set. When the textbox have a ControlSource
property set, clicking a button will work for only one control at a
time. In other words, if there's 6 controls to either clear or
populate, it takes 6 clicks to work.

I've not been able to find any solution on the newsgroups, nor on
Microsoft's Knowledge Base. Does anyone else know of this issue, and
perhaps a solution? I'm using Excel XP but it's the same on Excel
2000.

There is no issue. If the ControlSource property is set, they pick up the
value from that cell.

You could just clear the cells in that one button action, the textboxes will
fall in line.

Thanks Bob

I've got it working by using Range("ClearCells").ClearContents for the
cells that are linked to textboxes, and
Range("Checkboxes").Cells.Value = False for the cells that are linked
to checkboxes.
