Making a combo box user freindly
 

I am using a form in a spreadsheet to select customers. I can use my mouse
and select the customer. I would like to type in the box to select the
customer by name instead. I have seen it work in other applications. I just
cannot figure out how to make it work.

Private Sub cboCustomerID_Change()
If Not IsNull(Me.cboCustomerID) Then
LoadStoreList
LoadSOForCustomer Me.cboCustomerID
End If
Me.cboStoreID.SetFocus
End Sub

Private Sub cboStoreID_Change()
If Not IsNull(Me.cboStoreID) Then
LoadSOForStore Me.cboStoreID
Else
If Not IsNull(Me.cboCustomerID) Then
LoadSOForCustomer Me.cboCustomerID
End If
End If
Me.lstShippingOrders.SetFocus
End Sub

When I have selected the customer with the mouse or start typing I loose
focus, because of the Me.cboStoreID.SetFocus after the End If.

This was written by some one else and I am trying to modify it to make it
more user friendly.

Thanks for the help.

Hi Mark,

Instead of running the code on the on Change event if you change it to
the AfterUpdate event. This means that the user can change it/type it
and then your code will run when the user moves away either by clicking
into another text box or pressing tab etc.

That made it do what i wanted, now i get a " Runtime error: 9 - Subscript
out of range" . I am trying to find the error in the code. If you have any
ideas let me know.

Hi Mark,

From the code you posted I can't see anything obvious, which line does
it highlight the error with? Subscript out of range is typically an
error assosiated with not finding a particular object like you telling
the code to select sheet4 when in fact you don't have a sheet4.

Alternatively you can email it to me.
