ComboBox ERROR when trying to clear after INDEX/MATCH lookup...

[calumbus53]

Hi guys,

I searched the forum and found some code which I was able to use in my form to create a lookup to populate other TextBox within my Form.

The code works fine when matching and looking up the values for the other cells, but I am not able to delete the value/enter my own random property in the ComboBox for use when "adding" to the database at a later date.


I have been using the code below:
Private Sub cmbTestDesc_Change()
Dim matchTest As Variant
matchTest = cmbTestDesc.Value = Application.WorksheetFunction.Index(Sheets("Sheet_Working").Range("B3:B13"), _
Application.WorksheetFunction.Match(cmbTestDesc.Value, Sheets("Sheet_Working").Range("B3:B10000"), 0), 1)
If matchTest = True Then
txtTestProc.Value = Application.WorksheetFunction.Index(Sheets("Sheet_Working").Range("C3:C10000"), _
Application.WorksheetFunction.Match(cmbTestDesc.Value, Sheets("Sheet_Working").Range("B3:B10000"), 0), 1)
txtUTID.Value = Application.WorksheetFunction.Index(Sheets("Sheet_Working").Range("A3:A13"), _
Application.WorksheetFunction.Match(cmbTestDesc.Value, Sheets("Sheet_Working").Range("B3:B10000"), 0), 1)
End If
End Sub


I have tried it a number of different ways but when I try typing in the ComboBox or deleting the value that is in there, I get the error: "Run-time Error '1004: Unable to get the Match property of the WorksheetFunction class."

The bit I will need to try do after solving this is add the value "IF DOES NOT EXIST" to the bottom of the list in the data base.


Any help would be great, cheers.

Instead of referring to the Match method of the Worksheetfunction property, refer to the Match method of the Application object. This way you'll get a non-breaking error when there's no match and you can test for an error using the IsError function. Here's a quick example..

    [COLOR=darkblue]Dim[/COLOR] vMatchVal [COLOR=darkblue]As[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkblue]Variant[/COLOR]    

    vMatchVal = Application.Match("x", Range("A1:A10"), 0)
    
    [COLOR=darkblue]If[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkblue]Not[/COLOR] IsError(vMatchVal) [COLOR=darkblue]Then[/COLOR]
        [COLOR=green]'do stuff here[/COLOR]
        '
        [COLOR=green]'[/COLOR]
    [COLOR=darkblue]End[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkblue]If[/COLOR]

Hope this helps!
