Nick I never did leave a space between the "" signs. I did write it this way
because it seemed to be less confusing...wrong choice:))
Anyway thanks again,
Ozgur

Yes, but that's any empty string "", not a "[SPACE]".

Nick,
I don't want to take up too much of your time but did you actually set the
cell to " " and it worked?
I did what you proposed but I still get the same error. I did not work.

Thanks,Ozgur

The example works for me as written.

Well, spoke (wrote) a bit too soon.
Worked fine, then stopped with same error as you have received.

OK, you need to pay attention to the line of help that says "You also
need
to make sure cell A6 contains no data.".
Add a line
Range("A6").Value="" 'Or whatever range you use for .ControlSource
Before you set the .ControlSource
ListBox1.ControlSource = "A6"

Sorry to bother you with maybe trivial stuff but here is the help
expanation:

"ListBox Control, BoundColumn, ControlSource, RowSource Properties
Example

The following example uses a range of worksheet cells in a ListBox and,
when
the user selects a row from the list, displays the row index in another
worksheet cell. This code sample uses the RowSource, BoundColumn, and
ControlSource properties.

To use this example, copy this sample code to the Declarations portion
of
a
form. Make sure that the form contains a ListBox named ListBox1. In the
worksheet, enter data in cells A1:E4. You also need to make sure cell
A6
contains no data.

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
ListBox1.ColumnCount = 5
ListBox1.RowSource = "a1:e4"
ListBox1.ControlSource = "a6"
'Place the ListIndex into cell a6
ListBox1.BoundColumn = 0
End Sub
"

I did copy this into a userform and if you exclude the controlsource
part
of
the code it works but if you try to use it as above stated it still
gives
an
"Invalid Property
Value" message. I thought may be its because I had data in the A6 cell
but
I tried it with a empty cell and still some old same old.
Could the help file be wrong??? Not being abale to figure it out is
killing
me...

From what I can tell, it only works with Activesheet, although there
is
no
mention of this limitation in Help.
Any worksheet reference is ignored and the relevant address on the
ActiveSheet used.

Dave,Nick,
thanks for your replies. I tried both of your posts with mixed
results.
When
I put Dave's code in the initialize event of the userform it
worked.
However
when I tried it later again it still gave me a "Invalid Property
Value"...I
can't figure out why it would not work the second time around
(didn't
work
anymore at all)...
Am I totally misunderstanding this feature? Is is controlsource not
to
link
the control with a excel sheet cell. Howcome invalid property
message
when?
(I am using Excel 2003 for what is worth)

Anyway appreciate your help,
Ozgur

This works for me :
TextBox1.ControlSource = Range("A2").Address
or
TextBox1.ControlSource = "A2"

It will refer to the active sheet.

Sorry for the neverending questions but I am missingsomething
here
and
I
could not get it from the help or the net.

I am trying to set the controlsource property for a textbox1 on
a
userform1.
I replicated the example from the help file:

Private Sub UserForm1_Initialize()
TextBox1.ControlSource = "a1"
End Sub

That seems not to work. I tried to input the link in the
properties
menu
manually but I am getting a "Invalid property value" error
message.

What am I missing or doing wrong here?

Thanks,
Ozgur

Does the .ControlSource property of the Textbox achieve this

Hi,
I am currently working on a userform where I use textboxes
to
display
from
a
workbook. Everytime the workbook calculates the texboxes
are
updated.
It
was
going all fine until I hit a limit and the above compile
error
message
came
up.

If anyone could help me make my code simpler and more
efficient I
would
greatly appreciate it.
I use these code(of course hundreds of them because I have
several
option
buttons and the value of the txtboxes must change) when
the
workbook
is
calculated:
UserForm1.TextBox1.Value =
Sheets("Calculation").Range("A1").Value
UserForm1.TextBox1.Text =
Sheets("Calculation").Range("A1").Text

I was wondering if one has to specify the text also
everytime
the
value is
changing? If I can fix the text style I can probably get
rid
of
the
problem.

Thanks for your help,
Ozgur
