G'day there One and All,

I'm still plugging away at my application, but have hit another
hurdle. I'm sure that there's a way around it, but I can't find one that
won't require a huge rewrite of code while still providing the functions
that I've got so far (although that might still be necessary)

I have a userform with a multipage control. Each tab relates to a
different range, and has similar controls on it - a listbox, a textbox,
and "Add" & "Remove" command buttons. The data from the ranges is used
elsewhere as .rowsources for comboboxes. The user can then select from
their own lists that they previously used these multipage tabs to enter.
There are only 3 pages at present - Holidays, Sections, Ranks, but there
might be more later after I discuss further requirements. (Why is it
that you can't be given a set of UNCHANGING criteria to work with? <g).

Anyhoooo... I'm using a "Set" statement on selection of multipage
tab:

Select Case Me.MultiPage1.Value
Case Is = 0 ' Defaults
Me.cmbSave.Visible = True
Me.cmbCancel.Left = 270
Case Is = 1 ' Location
Me.cmbSave.Visible = False
Me.cmbCancel.Left = (Me.Width / 2) - Me.cmbCancel.Width / 2
Case Is = 2 ' Ranks
Me.cmbSave.Visible = False
Me.cmbCancel.Left = (Me.Width / 2) - Me.cmbCancel.Width / 2
Set gRng = dSht.Range("wrkRanks")
Call modFormSet.setFrmLst(Me.lbRanks, gRng)
Case Is = 3 ' Sections
Me.cmbSave.Visible = False
Me.cmbCancel.Left = (Me.Width / 2) - Me.cmbCancel.Width / 2
Set gRng = dSht.Range("wrkSections")
Call modFormSet.setFrmLst(Me.lbSections, gRng)
Case Is = 4 ' Holidays
Me.cmbSave.Visible = False
Set gRng = dSht.Range("wrkHolidays")
Call modFormSet.setFrmLst(Me.lbHols, gRng)
End Select

I then use the listbox and range details in various reuseable Subs
in a general code module. Eg:

Sub lstRemBtn(lb As MSForms.ListBox, rng As Range)
brilliantly imaginative code goes here
End Sub

This Sub deletes 1 and only 1 entry from my range and updates the
Listbox to reflect this. The problem is that it can eventually remove
all entries from the list, and the next time the tab is selected an
error arrises because there's no range to select. I should point out
that these "wrkWhatever" ranges are dynamic named ranges.

Also, the listbox entries are entered via an array with .rowsource
set to "". This is because I also have "MoveUp" & "MoveDown" buttons
(from one of John Walkenbach's books), to allow my users to set their
own order for the range entries, and hence the later combobox selections
or cell entry validation.

The easiest way I thought of is to make the last range entry
undeletable. I.e. range("wrkWhatever").rows.count can never be < 1, but
the methods I've tried don't work. Once the range is "Set", and passed
to my Sub, the exposed properties don't change so gRng.Rows.Count always
gives the number of rows at the time of initialization. The same with
ListBox.ListCount.

Is there a way to update these properties once initialised?

Or can anybody see some other way around this issue?

I'll take any advice I can get. (Make that "polite" advice <g).

See ya,
Thanks for listening
