Good Afternoon,

I am using the following code from Locke-Garmin to automatically populate textboxs:

Code:
Option Explicit

Private People As Collection


Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()

Set People = New Collection

Call PopulatePeopleCollection

With ComboBox1
.List = People_Collection_To_List()
.ColumnCount = 2
.BoundColumn = 2
.ColumnWidths = "1;0"
End With

End Sub


Private Sub PopulatePeopleCollection()

AddPerson "Locke", "Locke@Locke.com"
AddPerson "Garmin", "Garmin@Garmin.com"


End Sub


Private Sub AddPerson(Name As String, Email As String)
People.Add Array(Name, Email)
End Sub


Private Function People_Collection_To_List() As Variant()

Dim ReturnArray As Variant
Dim x As Long


ReDim ReturnArray(1 To People.Count, 0 To 1)

For x = 1 To People.Count
ReturnArray(x, 0) = People(x)(0)
ReturnArray(x, 1) = People(x)(1)
Next x

People_Collection_To_List = ReturnArray

End Function


Private Sub ComboBox1_Change()
TextBox1.Value = ComboBox1.Value

End Sub

...which works perfectly. I am using the userform to send an email with the information now input from the code above and would like it to send the value of combobox1 as part of the body. However, when I use me.combobox1.value it is returning the value as the email address of the person and not the name - is there a way for it to return the name instead?

If it would be helpful I can post the code I am using to send the email.

Thank you in advance for your time and help,

John
 

Excel Facts

Select all contiguous cells
Pressing Ctrl+* (asterisk) will select the "current region" - all contiguous cells in all directions.
Maybe:
Rich (BB code):
Private Sub ComboBox1_Change()

    Dim selectedIndex As Long
    selectedIndex = ComboBox1.ListIndex
    
    If selectedIndex > -1 Then 'Nothing selected
        TextBox1.Value = ComboBox1.List(selectedIndex, 0)
    End If

End Sub
