Simple radio button form help
Greetings,
We are trying to create a simple Excel form that a field engineer could use. We're having trouble with two concepts... In one section we'd like him to choose from 2 options, "a" or "b". If he chooses "a", then it would pull a price from cell A1. if he chooses option "b", it will choose the price from cell B1. In a second section, we'd like him to choose 1 option from about 10 possibilities. I assume that will be very similar to the first section. Can someone teach me how to create a simple form with the 2 choices, then pull from a different cell depending on which choice is made? Thanks for your help!!! Cheers, Scot B. |

Simple radio button form help
Scot,
Hit ALT-F11 and get into the editor Click INSERT / USERFORM Create a form with four items: (1) A 'Frame' (the icon with the box and xyz on it). Inside that put two radio buttons (because they are inside the frame they are logically linked to each other) (2) A ComboBox below the frame. (3) A BUTTON - Change the Caption to CANCEL (this will default being called 'CommandButton1') (4) A BUTTON - Change the caption to OK (this will default being called 'CommandButton2') The code to display the Form is: USERFORM.1 SHOW The items on the form are then referred to as: USERFORM1.OptionButton1 USERFORM1.OptionButton2 USERFORM1.ComboBox1 USERFORM1.CommandButton1 USERFORM1.CommandButton2 Check this forum for how to load up a ComboBox, especially the .additem keyword (search for "combobox .additem") You can then code for things like: If USERFORM1.OptionButton1 = True and also things like: If USERFORM1.Combobox1.value = "Bill Blogs" or MyCustomer = USERFORM1.Combobox1.value Hope this gets you started. |

Simple radio button form help
Scot,
The easiest, presuming you want only one pair of option buttons for the whole sheet for a or b, is to create two options buttons with the Forms Toolbar. Right click them and assign them (cell link) to a common cell. You'll get a 1 or a 2 in the cell depending on which button is engaged, which you can test in your formulas where you pull data from. If you want a pair of buttons for each row, it doesn't really work, as all the option buttons are part of the same group (click one, and the others go off). A similar solution using option buttons from the Controls Toolbox can be used. This pretty much only works for a fixed number of rows, known in advance. -- Earl Kiosterud www.smokeylake.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- "Scot B" wrote in message . ..
