named range as rowsource
 

Hi,

I have a listbox that I am trying to set the rowsource with VBA. If I set
the rowsource manually in the properties window to mynameedrange, my code
works great. I'm having trouble with the code setting it with VBA.

Here's what I have:

With frmPoolTypes.lstPoolList
.RowSource = Range("PoolTypes")
.BoundColumn = 1
.ColumnCount = 1
.ListStyle = fmListStyleOption
End With

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

named range as rowsource
 

When I get an error I try to break the problem into pieces. I defined a name
in the spreadsheet then tried the statement below and it failed

Set a = Range("PoolTypes")

Then I tried the code below and it worked.

Set a = ActiveSheet.Range("PoolTypes")

or

Set a = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("PoolTypes")


There are a lot of functions and metods that I do not have memorized. I
thought name in VBA needed a worksheet reference, but wasn't sure. So I ran
a test to be sure before giving you advice.

Try:
..RowSource = "PoolTypes"

Personally, I find this more self-documenting:
..RowSource = worksheets("sheet9999").Range("PoolTypes").address (external:=true)

Dave: I don't recommend giving poorly documented microsoft internal tricks is
wise to people who barely know how to program VBA. What will they do when
they look at the code in a month and have no idea what the code really does?

I don't understand.

Which one is poorly documented?

Hi,

Thanks to you both for your replies.

I have tried these:

With frmPoolTypes.lstPoolList
.RowSource =
Worksheets("Table").Range("PoolTypes").Address(ext ernal:=True)
and I tried
.RowSource = "PoolTypes"
and I tried
.RowSource = Sheets("Table").Range("PoolTypes")
End With

The form comes up but with no data. I get no error messages.

I have double checked the names of my form, listbox, sheet and range.

I can set the caption for the form ok, but I'm not getting the data range.

What else could I be missing?

Thanks

The only thing I (don't) see is where you put this code.

Is it in the userform_initialization procedure?

All 3 of these worked ok for me:

Option Explicit
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Me.lstPoolList.RowSource = "PoolTypes"
Me.lstPoolList.RowSource = "'Table'!PoolTypes"
Me.lstPoolList.RowSource = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("table") _
.Range("Pooltypes").Address(external:=True)
End Sub

Any chance that you renamed that _initialize procedure to something like:
frmPoolTypes_Initialize
????

If you did, name it back to what excel expects it to be.

Hi Dave,

Here is my complete code for the form. This resides in the forms module.
I have the new value being obtained by a textbox when they click 'Save'.


Sub frmPoolTypes_Initialize()

Load frmPoolTypes

Me.Caption = "Pool Types"

With Me.lstPoolList
'.RowSource =
Worksheets("Table").Range("PoolTypes").Address(ext ernal:=True)
'.RowSource = "PoolTypes"
.RowSource = Sheets("Table").Range("PoolTypes")
.BoundColumn = 1
.ColumnCount = 1
.ListStyle = fmListStyleOption
End With

frmPoolTypes.Show

End Sub



Private Sub cmdSave_Click()

Dim Choice As Long
Dim NewPool As String

Choice = lstPoolList.ListIndex

NewPool = txtNewPool

Range("PoolTypes").Item(Choice, 1).Value = NewPool

Unload frmPoolTypes

End Sub


Private Sub cmdCancel_Click()

Unload frmPoolTypes

End Sub


Do you see anything I've missed?

Thanks,

Try the suggestion that I posted in the last response.

I removed the "load", "show" lines for a reason.
You also changed the .rowsource line from what I suggested.

Ok, I took out the Sheets("Table") and left just the "PoolTypes" and it
works. What's wrong with my Sheets? That is the name of the sheet.

Yep.

You didn't use the correct procedure name.

Sub Userform_Initialize()

Me.Caption = "Pool Types"

With Me.lstPoolList
.RowSource _
= Worksheets("Table").Range("PoolTypes").Address(ext ernal:=True)
'.RowSource = "PoolTypes"
'.RowSource = Sheets("Table").Range("PoolTypes")
.BoundColumn = 1
.ColumnCount = 1
.ListStyle = fmListStyleOption
End With

End Sub

I didn't look at the other routines.

Hi Dave,

Here is my complete code for the form. This resides in the forms module.
I have the new value being obtained by a textbox when they click 'Save'.

Sub frmPoolTypes_Initialize()

Load frmPoolTypes

Me.Caption = "Pool Types"

With Me.lstPoolList
'.RowSource =
Worksheets("Table").Range("PoolTypes").Address(ext ernal:=True)
'.RowSource = "PoolTypes"
.RowSource = Sheets("Table").Range("PoolTypes")
.BoundColumn = 1
.ColumnCount = 1
.ListStyle = fmListStyleOption
End With

frmPoolTypes.Show

End Sub

Private Sub cmdSave_Click()

Dim Choice As Long
Dim NewPool As String

Choice = lstPoolList.ListIndex

NewPool = txtNewPool

Range("PoolTypes").Item(Choice, 1).Value = NewPool

Unload frmPoolTypes

End Sub

Private Sub cmdCancel_Click()

Unload frmPoolTypes

End Sub

Do you see anything I've missed?

Thanks,

Any chance that you renamed that _initialize procedure to something like:
frmPoolTypes_Initialize
????

If you did, name it back to what excel expects it to be.
UserForm_Initialize

Hi,

Thanks to you both for your replies.

I have tried these:

With frmPoolTypes.lstPoolList
.RowSource =
Worksheets("Table").Range("PoolTypes").Address(ext ernal:=True)
and I tried
.RowSource = "PoolTypes"
and I tried
.RowSource = Sheets("Table").Range("PoolTypes")
End With

The form comes up but with no data. I get no error messages.

I have double checked the names of my form, listbox, sheet and range.

I can set the caption for the form ok, but I'm not getting the data range.

What else could I be missing?

Thanks

Try:
..RowSource = "PoolTypes"

Personally, I find this more self-documenting:
..RowSource = worksheets("sheet9999").Range("PoolTypes").address (external:=true)

Hi,

I have a listbox that I am trying to set the rowsource with VBA. If I set
the rowsource manually in the properties window to mynameedrange, my code
works great. I'm having trouble with the code setting it with VBA.

Here's what I have:

With frmPoolTypes.lstPoolList
.RowSource = Range("PoolTypes")
.BoundColumn = 1
.ColumnCount = 1
.ListStyle = fmListStyleOption
End With

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
