It sounds like the issue might be related to how the combo box in the second form is populated with data. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and fix the issue:
- Check Data Source: Ensure that the combo box in the second form is linked to the correct data source in your Excel sheet. Double-check the range of cells or named range that you have specified as the data source for the combo box.
- Verify Data Range: Make sure that the data range specified for the combo box includes the correct data and that there are no empty cells or errors within the range.
- Refresh Data: If the data in your Excel sheet has been updated since you opened the second form, you may need to refresh the data source for the combo box. You can do this programmatically using VBA code or manually by closing and reopening the form.
- Ensure Visibility: Check the properties of the combo box in the second form to ensure that it is set to be visible. Sometimes, if the visibility property is accidentally set to false, the combo box may not display any data.
- Debugging: Use VBA debugging tools to check if there are any errors occurring when populating the combo box with data. You can set breakpoints in your code and step through it to see if there are any issues.
- Recreate Combo Box: If all else fails, try deleting the combo box in the second form and recreating it from scratch. Sometimes, there may be hidden issues with the combo box properties that are difficult to identify.
If you're still experiencing issues after trying these steps, please provide more details about how the combo box is populated and any relevant VBA code that you're using. This will help in providing a more targeted solution to the problem. The text was created with the help of AI
