Thank you for answering Bob. What really happens is that I 'm building a
small application that i want to be shared, therefore i'm changing all
the xyz.select instructions for avoid the application from crashing
when shared.

In this particular code, depending on wich option button is selected, a
macro is run to change the text of the ComboBox to show just "None"
without more posible entries. Later when the user chooses "option
button 2", another macro runs to change the .ListFillRange=
"Historia!A4:A1500" and .DropDownLines to 10

Here is the code i'm using for the second macro:



Code:
--------------------
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
'DesprotegeHoja
ActiveSheet.Shapes("Drop Down 428").Select
With Selection
.ListFillRange = "Historia!A4:A1500"
.LinkedCell = "$L$40"
.DropDownLines = 10
.Display3DShading = True
End With

Range("A2").Select
Sheets("ADM_SYS").Range("NumeroCotizacion") = " "
'ProtegeHoja
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
--------------------



My problem is how to run this macro changing the lines :


Code:
--------------------
ActiveSheet.Shapes("Drop Down 428").Select
With Selection
.ListFillRange = "Historia!A4:A1500"
.LinkedCell = "$L$40"
.DropDownLines = 10
.Display3DShading = True
End With

--------------------


with something like:


Code:
--------------------
ActiveSheet.Shapes("Drop Down 428").ListFillRange = "Historia!A4:A1500"
ActiveSheet.Shapes("Drop Down 428").LinkedCell = "$L$40"
ActiveSheet.Shapes("Drop Down 428").DropDownLines = 10
ActiveSheet.Shapes("Drop Down 428").Display3DShading = True
--------------------



I have tried that with no luck. Hope I explain it clear enough for you
to give a hand with this
I would like to understand why my proposed solution don't works.

Thank you so much Bob.

Saludos Jose Luis,

I think you need to unprotect the sheet at the start, and protect it
again
at the end. Look up protect and unprotect in help.

Why would you use a combobox with only one item?

Hello


I have a Option Button (from forms) with a Macro Attached to it that
changes the values of a combobox (also from Forms). Here is the code
i
am using:



Code:
--------------------
Sub OpcionCero()
' Boton para Seleccion de Opcion Cotizacion Activa
' Macro recorded 1/5/2005 by jose luis
'
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

ActiveSheet.Shapes("Drop Down 428").Select
With Selection
.ListFillRange = "$P$2" 'Letrero Cotizacion Actual
.LinkedCell = "$L$40"
.DropDownLines = 1
.Display3DShading = True
End With

Range("A2").Select
Sheets("ADM_SYS").Range("NumeroCotizacion") = " "

Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
--------------------



My problems araise when i protect the sheet. Cause the application
crashes.

I tried with ActiveControls but i haven't been able enough to make
it
run.


Any help on how to proceed will be welcomed,


Thanks in advance

Regards

Jose Luis
