Hi,
I have written a visual basic script that uses Excel to store 'recipe'
data. The user is able to see currently stored recipes in a combo box.
I've recently been asked to sort the recipes so that they appear in the
combo box in alphabetical order. This is where I'm having problems and
I wondered whether anyone reading this can point me in the right
direction?

This is my script, when the form is initiated I'm getting a "Run-time
error 1004: Method 'range of object '_Global' failed.



Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()

Dim intNextRow As Integer
Dim strRowID As String
Dim strMixID As String
Dim LastRow As String
Dim WriteRow As String
Dim WriteRange As String

'On Error Resume Next

intNextRow = 4

Set ExcelAppRecipe = GetObject(, "excel.application") ' Set Reference
to currently open Excel Application
ExcelAppRecipe.Application.Sheets("Recipe").Activa te

LastRow = ExcelAppRecipe.Selection.SpecialCells(11).Row
WriteRow = "" & "5" & ":" & LastRow & ""
WriteRange = "" & "A" & LastRow & ""

ExcelAppRecipe.Rows(WriteRow).Select
ExcelAppRecipe.Range(WriteRange).Activate

ExcelAppRecipe.Selection.Sort Key1:=Range("B5"), Order1:=xlAscending


strRowID = "Recipe!B" & intNextRow
strMixID = ExcelAppRecipe.Range(strRowID).Value
Do While strMixID < ""
cboSelectMix.AddItem strMixID
intNextRow = intNextRow + 1
strRowID = "Recipe!B" & intNextRow
strMixID = ExcelAppRecipe.Range(strRowID).Value
Loop
Set ExcelAppRecipe = Nothing
End Sub

I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the line
ExcelAppRecipe.Selection.Sort Key1:=Range("B5"), Order1:=xlAscending
but I'm not sute what I've done wrong? If I look on the excel sheet it
has selected the correct area but hasn't sorted it. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance
