Hi,

I need a combobox_Change() code that will update my textbox1 that when I make ANY selection in my combobox, it will add "+1" to my textbox.

Events -

I select a combobox selection in cmb1 and in textbox1 it just says "1".
I select another combobox selection in cmb2 and in textbox 1 it now says "2".
On the same note, if I have to delete the selection in cmb2 the textbox should update back to "1".

I have 30 comboboxes I need this to do to textbox1.

If it matters, I only have Capital Letters in my combobox list. No numbers at all.

I'm hoping this is a relatively simple code. Thanks.

Try this:

Code:
Private Sub ComboBox1_Change()
    If ComboBox1.ListIndex > -1 Then
        TextBox1.Value = Val(TextBox1) + 1
    ElseIf ComboBox1.Value = "" Then TextBox1.Value = Val(TextBox1) - 1
    End If
End Sub

Hi DanteAmor,

This works decent. It will count by 1 whenever I make a selection... Problem is... If I accidentally click on the wrong selection in Combobox1 and must change my answer, the textbox will now go to "2", when I still am working on Combobox1 selection. Does that make sense?

Try this

Code:
Private Sub ComboBox1_Change()
    Call [COLOR=#0000ff]Counter_Combos[/COLOR]
End Sub
Private Sub ComboBox2_Change()
    Call [COLOR=#0000ff]Counter_Combos[/COLOR]
End Sub
Private Sub ComboBox3_Change()
    Call [COLOR=#0000ff]Counter_Combos[/COLOR]
End Sub


Sub [COLOR=#0000ff]Counter_Combos[/COLOR]()
    Dim ctrl As Control
    TextBox1 = ""
    For Each ctrl In Controls
        If TypeName(ctrl) = "ComboBox" Then
            If ctrl.ListIndex > -1 Then
                TextBox1 = Val(TextBox1.Value) + 1
            End If
        End If
    Next
End Sub

            If ctrl.ListIndex > -1 Then
                TextBox1 = Val(TextBox1.Value) + 1
            End If
        End If
    Next
End Sub

Once I change the Textbox1 to the unique ID and try to run the code, it gives me a runtime error. Highlights txttotalpallet = "" and says it has no variable.

What is txttotalpallet? Is it a textbox?


You can put your code updated.
