Whats wrong with my code?
Private Sub ComboBox1_Change()
If Sheets("SYS").Range("A1:A18").Find(ComboBox1.Value ) = False Then MsgBox "You have entered a invalid choice. Please make a valid selection to continue.", vbCritical, "- INVALID SELECTION ERROR -" ComboBox1.Value = "" Exit Sub End If End Sub The idea is to make it so if someone types in a drop down box and its not one of the values they could select from...the application will popup with an error message. My logic makes perfect sense to me but VBA is having a hard time accepting it...any ideas as to why? Thanks alot! |

Can you not POPULATE only the values in the Combobox from the range, thus eliminating the
possibility of the user entering an invalid entry? wrote in message oups.com... Private Sub ComboBox1_Change() If Sheets("SYS").Range("A1:A18").Find(ComboBox1.Value ) = False Then MsgBox "You have entered a invalid choice. Please make a valid selection to continue.", vbCritical, "- INVALID SELECTION ERROR -" ComboBox1.Value = "" Exit Sub End If End Sub The idea is to make it so if someone types in a drop down box and its not one of the values they could select from...the application will popup with an error message.

I'd use:
if application.countif(Sheets("SYS").Range("A1:A18"), combobox1.value) = 0 then msgbox "not found" .... wrote: Private Sub ComboBox1_Change() If Sheets("SYS").Range("A1:A18").Find(ComboBox1.Value ) = False Then MsgBox "You have entered a invalid choice. Please make a valid selection to continue.", vbCritical, "- INVALID SELECTION ERROR -" ComboBox1.Value = "" Exit Sub End If End Sub The idea is to make it so if someone types in a drop down box and its not one of the values they could select from...the application will popup with an error message.

And just to add to Corey's response, if you change the combobox's Style property
to fmstyledropdownlist, the user won't be able to type anything into that combobox--except for the items in the list. wrote: Private Sub ComboBox1_Change() If Sheets("SYS").Range("A1:A18").Find(ComboBox1.Value ) = False Then MsgBox "You have entered a invalid choice.
