Hi All,

I have designed a jobsheet in excel and am using a user form to pick
parts from a list located on a different worksheet.

I have a quantity box on there with a spinbutton and when a control
button is pressed the parts and quantities are updated on the next
available empty line on my job sheet. I can manually type into the
combo box and all works great, but I cannot get the box to pick up any
parts from the worksheet.

The parts list will be modified frequently by others so I need to add
all items untill it comes across a blank line, or perhaps a flag at the
end of the list would be better???

Also, it would be handy if the pick list could jump to a section by
pressing the first letter key on the keyboard, can a combo box do that?

Heres what I have that doesnt work!

Private Sub cboPartsused_Click()


ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("temp parts").Activate
Range("A2").Select

Do
If IsEmpty(ActiveCell) = False Then
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
AddItem.ActiveCell.Value
End If
Loop Until IsEmpty(ActiveCell) = True


End Sub


Now just to make things more complicated!

I have wrote macros that enable the job sheet to be closed without
prompting to be saved and before it closes, a new sheet is opened and
the values copied and pasted into it so the macros are not copied. Then
the filename contains the job number and date time stamp so the
filenames are not duplicated, and the files are saved into another
folder on the desktop.

This can be printed "on site" and given to the customer.

I would like all the info to go to another almost duplicate worksheet
except that on this one, the contents of 2 more columns (prices etc)
are placed in the jobsheet for invoicing purposes, but I dont want the
prices to appear in the combo box, only the colum A containing part
descriptions.

Can anyone out there help?

I am totally new to this VBA programming. The last time I programmed
anything was 15 years ago - basic and 6502!! I'm slowly getting back
into programming!

Thanks in advance!
