I want to copy a template which contains a combo box from sheet "Change_Block" to the sheet "Scope_Changes" this will be one several times, so i don't know te combobox name upfront ..

I tried this in a macro .... but the " With Selection" gives the run time error 438: Object doesnt support this property or method

How to avoid this?


Code:
Sub Add_Change()

'determine the row to start the new change block
    Dim This_Sheet As String
    Dim lr, r As Long
    
    This_Sheet = "Scope_Changes"
    Worksheets(This_Sheet).Activate
    lr = Cells(Rows.Count, "I").End(xlUp).row
    
    r = lr + 3
    Sheets("Change_Block").Select
    Rows("1:19").Select
    Selection.Copy
    Sheets("Scope_Changes").Select
    Range("A" & r).Select
    ActiveSheet.Paste
    
    Sheets("Change_Block").Select
    ActiveSheet.Shapes.Range(Array("ComboBox1")).Select
    Application.CutCopyMode = False
    Selection.Copy
    Sheets("Scope_Changes").Select
    Range("A" & r + 4).Select
    ActiveSheet.Paste
     With Selection
      .LinkedCell = "E" & r + 3
      .ListFillRange = Range("H" & r + 3).Value

    End With

End Sub

      .ListFillRange = Range("H" & r + 3).Value

    End With

End Sub

I found it...if i change the name of the combobox then every next combobox will be named combobox1 and this is working fine then:
ActiveSheet.Paste
ActiveSheet.Shapes.Range(Array("ComboBox1")).Select
With Selection
.LinkedCell = "E" & r + 2
.ListFillRange = Range("H" & r + 2).Value
.Name = "Box" & r
End With
