ComboBox still shows data when linked cell is empty
Hi there, I've tried all sorts of settings in the ComboBox settings, but I
can't get it to show blank when there is no data in the linked cell. If the last entry in the linked cell was "100" then it still shows"100" after the linked cell has been cleared. There must be some little thing to do........................Regards, Brett |

I can't recreate that. Are you talking about a combo on a userform, or on a
sheet. If on a sheet is that an ActiveX or a Forms control. What relevant source and link settings have you applied. Regards, Peter T "Brettjg" wrote in message ...

ComboBox still shows data when linked cell is empty
Hi Peter, thanks for your response.
It's a forms control in a sheet, not created with VB - it's always there. Autoload = true AutoWordSelect = false HideSelection = false Matchrequired = false EnterFieldBehaviour = selectall linked cell = J14 (which is empty) After that I'm not sure what else you need to know (not very experienced with these - "No kidding" I hear you say).

Can't be with those options, surely you mean an ActiveX control If I delete the linked-cell value the combo's entry is also cleared. Not sure why that doesn't work similarly for you. What's the source range (ListFillRange), which Excel version. Regards, Peter T "Brettjg" wrote in message ... Hi Peter, thanks for your response.

Listfillrange:
100 1001 2001 3001 4001 5001 200 303 403 'this is a deliberate blank line in the range 110 210 310 410 Excel 2003 How do I tell if it's ActiveX or Forms Control?

ComboBox still shows data when linked cell is empty
I copied your data into A1:A14 assigned the ListFillRange to A1:A14. If I
select a value in the combo it changes the Linked-cell. If I delete the value in the linked cell the combo display is empty. I can't recreate your problem, using Excel 2003. How do I tell if it's ActiveX or Forms Control? If you added the control manually you would have added it from the "Control Toolbox" (activeX) or "Forms" toolbars. If someone else added the control and you are not sure, if you can only select it by going into design mode (icon on the ControlToolbox toolbar), or if it has associated event code, it is an ActiveX control (similar to controls that go on userforms).

ComboBox still shows data when linked cell is empty
OK, I can only select it in design mode. It has an event procedure attached
to it so that means it must be ActiveX (sorry to mislead you at the outset). So does that mean that there is another reason why the display is not empty when the linked cell is?

If you mean this
So does that mean that there is another reason why the display is not empty when the linked cell is? Afraid I have no idea, as I mentioned, I cannot recreate that.

ComboBox still shows data when linked cell is empty
Hi Peter, I may drop the linked cell. I did this in another book with a
similar ComboBox and just made the macros fire by the content of the text, then reset the text and select the home cell. Seems to work better. Thanks very much for your help.
