Greetings,

I have a UserForm with 3 ComboBoxes and several TextBoxes. I also
have 2 worksheets called 'Data' and 'List'. 'Data' is the records
database and 'List' is the named ranges storage.

I am attempting to edit the records on 'Data' by using a UserForm
setup to find a certain 'Item Number' from a certain 'Vendor' on a
certain 'Date/Time'.

On sheet 'Data', column A is the 'Vendor' name, column B is the
'Date/Time' entry and column C is the 'Item Number'. These columns
are also named ranges. Column A is 'dVendor', column B is 'dDate' and
column C is 'dNum'

On sheet 'List' is a named range of unique vendors called 'lVendor'

On the UserForm are 3 ComboBoxes: Vendor Name, Date/Time and Item
Number. There are also a few TextBoxes (the exact number is not
relevant).

ComboBox 1 gets it's RowSource from 'lVendor'. ComboBox 2 RowSource
is dependent on the value of ComboBox 1, but not referenced to
'lVendor' (the named range on 'List' with the unique list of names),
but referenced to 'dVendor' (the named range on 'Data'. 'dVendor'
does NOT have a unique names list of names, but many duplicates).

I have got as far as ComboBox 1, but I can't seem to find a way to get
the RowSource's for the next 2 ComboBoxes. The TextBoxes need to be
filled from the results of the three ComboBoxes. I was thinking of
either VLOOKUP or OFFSET finding the row that matches the ComboBoxes
results and getting the correct column for each TextBox.

I have looked at a few of the Data Validation solutions and I can't
figure out how to make any of them work.

I have been searching for answers in the news groups, chasing down web
sites, going though the code that was submitted, for the last 4 days
(there are a lot of solutions to go though, just nothing that I can
use).

Does anyone have any ideas on how to accomplish this?

Any help is appreciated!!!!

Thanks for looking at my post and any help you may be willing to
render.

Hi Minitman,

Hey Norman,

I've looked at that solution.

The problem with that solution is the design of the secondary lists.
I have my records setup like this:

| Vendor Name | Date | Item Number | Misc 1 | Misc 2|
| store 1 | 3/21/03 | 1 | Fish | Frozen|
| store 1 | 3/21/03 | 2 | Lettuce | Fresh |
| store 1 | 3/21/03 | 3 | Chili | 12 oz |
| store 1 | 3/21/03 | 4 | Mayo | 29 oz |
| store 1 | 3/21/03 | 5 | Coke | 32 oz |
| store 1 | 3/21/03 | 6 | Eggs | 1 doz |
| store 1 | 4/21/03 | 1 | TP | 8 pak |
| store 1 | 4/21/03 | 2 | PT | 3 pak |
| store 1 | 4/21/03 | 3 |Mustard | 29 oz |
| store 1 | 4/21/03 | 4 |Ketsup | 24 oz |
| store 1 | 4/21/03 | 5 |Hot Dogs| 8 pak |
| store 1 | 4/21/03 | 6 |Charcole| 10 lb. |
| store 1 | 4/21/03 | 7 | Buns | 10 pak |
| store 1 | 4/21/03 | 8 | Coke | 24 pak|
| store 1 | 4/21/03 | 9 | Plates | 1 ea. |
| store 2 | 3/21/03 | 1 | Gasoline| 10 gal |
| store 3 | 4/01/03 | 1 | Shovel | 1 ea. |
| store 3 | 4/01/03 | 2 | Rake | 1 ea. |
| store 3 | 4/01/03 | 3 | Fertilizer | 40 lb |
| store 3 | 4/01/03 | 4 | Petunias | 1 doz |
| store 3 | 4/01/03 | 5 | Dirt | 60 lb |

.... And a lot more of the same.

What I need is to choose the vendor (store name) from ComboBox 1 and
have the dates for only that store show up in ComboBox 2 without
making any additional lists. And once there is a date then have the
item numbers for only the store on that date show up in ComboBox 3.
When there is an entry in ComboBox 3 then the rest of that record will
show up in the appropriate TextBox (thus the VLOOKUP or OFFSET).

I hope this clarifies the problem.

Minitman,
Try the below codes
It works for me, thanks to Mike.

I think it is what you need also.
CHANGE the ComboBox numbers etc to suit.

Hey Corey,

Thanks for the reply.

I can't seem to find any points of reference between what I am looking
for and your code. I'm not even sure what your code is doing.

As I mentioned earlier, I have 3 ComboBoxes (CB1, CB2 & CB3) and 2
TextBoxes (TB5 & TB6). These are on a UserForm.

In the workbook are two sheets (Enter & Data)I start the UserForm from
Enter and sore the imputed data on Data. On the UserForm, I am trying
to find which row on the data sheet matches up with a set of criteria
containing three items (Vendor, Date/Time & Item number) and move over
to columns E & F to pick up misc 1 & misc 3 information and place this
info into TB5 & TB6..

I have a sample workbook, which shows the problem, that I can email or
FTP to anyone. It is about 63 K after zipping.

Thanks again for your reply.

Hey Corey,

I really appreciate your help with this problem.

I re tabbed your code and I am not sure if I got it right, could you
check it for errors? Thanks.

I do have a couple of questions.

1) What is "wks"? It doesn't seem to be defined.
2) What do Range("B3") and Range("D3) represent?
3)What is the advantage in using UserForm_Activate over
UserForm_Initialize?
4)What does "combolist" represent?

I am assuming that ComboBox3 = the first ComboBox and ComboBox 4 = the
second ComboBox. I'm not sure where my 3rd ComboBox fits in here or
my 2 TextBoxes.

I hope to here from you soon.

Greetings,

I have a UserForm with 3 ComboBoxes and several TextBoxes. I also
have 2 worksheets called 'Data' and 'List'. 'Data' is the records
database and 'List' is the named ranges storage.

I am attempting to edit the records on 'Data' by using a UserForm
setup to find a certain 'Item Number' from a certain 'Vendor' on a
certain 'Date/Time'.

On sheet 'Data', column A is the 'Vendor' name, column B is the
'Date/Time' entry and column C is the 'Item Number'. These columns
are also named ranges. Column A is 'dVendor', column B is 'dDate' and
column C is 'dNum'

On sheet 'List' is a named range of unique vendors called 'lVendor'

On the UserForm are 3 ComboBoxes: Vendor Name, Date/Time and Item
Number. There are also a few TextBoxes (the exact number is not
relevant).

ComboBox 1 gets it's RowSource from 'lVendor'. ComboBox 2 RowSource
is dependent on the value of ComboBox 1, but not referenced to
'lVendor' (the named range on 'List' with the unique list of names),
but referenced to 'dVendor' (the named range on 'Data'. 'dVendor'
does NOT have a unique names list of names, but many duplicates).

I have got as far as ComboBox 1, but I can't seem to find a way to get
the RowSource's for the next 2 ComboBoxes. The TextBoxes need to be
filled from the results of the three ComboBoxes. I was thinking of
either VLOOKUP or OFFSET finding the row that matches the ComboBoxes
results and getting the correct column for each TextBox.

I have looked at a few of the Data Validation solutions and I can't
figure out how to make any of them work.

I have been searching for answers in the news groups, chasing down web
sites, going though the code that was submitted, for the last 4 days
(there are a lot of solutions to go though, just nothing that I can
use).

Does anyone have any ideas on how to accomplish this?

Any help is appreciated!!!!

Thanks for looking at my post and any help you may be willing to

Hey Norman,

Thanks for taking the time to help me, I really appreciate it.

Vba is not liking the line: CB2.Clear

It is calling it an "unspecified error" (whatever that is).

I don't understand all of your short cuts, which makes it a bit hard
to follow the logic. for example: "Set CB2 = Me.ComboBox2" looks like
all the code is doing is changing the name of ComboBox2 or am I
missing something.

Would it be easier if I sent you a sample workbook of what I am trying
to do? (I don't think I can send it to the newsgroup)

Please let me know, thanks.

Hi Minitman,

Try replacing my suggested code with the following:

'=============
Option Explicit
Public blStopEvents As Boolean

'-------------

Private Sub ComboBox1_Change()
Call LoadCB2(Me.ComboBox1.Value)
End Sub

'-------------

Private Sub ComboBox2_Change()
If blStopEvents Then Exit Sub
Call LoadCB3(Me.ComboBox1.Value, Me.ComboBox2.Value)
End Sub

Sub LoadCB2(sVendor As String)
Dim Sh As Worksheet
