Greetings,

Norman Jones helped me with a neat trick using a Collection to remove
duplicate entries from a range. I works great - for the first range -
after that it keeps giving a permission denied error. I think it
might have something to do with the method of resetting the
collection.

Anyone know the best way to load a ComboBox with the contents of a
collection and then reset the collection to fill the next ComboBox?

Any help is much appreciated.

TIA

Hey Tom,

Thanks for the reply. It's good to hear from you again.

This is an interesting sub.

I wasn't aware of Debug.Print, and what all it does. After the
reference I checked the M$ help file for more info. I think I can use
that.

My code is similar to yours so I gave up and went to prepare a small
sample workbook to send. As I was down sizing my workbook (I started
with deleting a sheet and removing linked named ranges) I discovered
that most of my dynamic named ranges for the remaining page were
slightly corrupted. There was enough there for them to load into
variables and load items into a Collection, but not enough to come out
of the collection into the ComboBox. THAT was the problem. Once the
named ranges were corrected, the code now works fine.

Again, thank you.
