Dear all,

I am new to Excel VBA.
Been trying to deal with the following problem for days but could not figure out a solution.

I want to enter data for individuals.
  • Each individual has data that are "static" e.g. ID, age, gender and data that "varies" e.g. addresses and contact numbers
  • I would like to enter the data in long format, such that the "static" data will be repeated for every row of varying data i.e. address and contact numbers
  • To avoid re-entering the "static" data for every individual, I would like to write codes that remove only the "varying data" before I enter the next "varying" data.
  • In other words, I want to remove address 1 and contact detail 1 before I enter address 2 and contact detail 2, and to remove address 2 and contact detail 2 before I enter address 3 and contact detail 3 for the same individual ID, age and gender.

Below is my current code:
  • Controls 1 to 10 are for "static" data whereas Controls 11 to 20 are for "varying" data.
  • The codes are intended to remove only Controls 11 to 20 which could be textbox, combobox, option button or listbox.
  • These codes give "Run-time error 438. Object doesn't support this property or method".
  • When I click the "Debug" button, it highlights "For Each ctrl In Me.Controls(x)" but I am not sure how else to edit it.

Can anyone help?
Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you very much in advanced!


Code: 
Private Sub Clear_Prog()

Dim x As Integer
For x = 11 To 20
    For Each ctrl In Me.Controls(x)
        Select Case TypeName(ctrl)
            Case "TextBox"
                ctrl.Text = ""
            Case "ComboBox"
                ctrl.ListIndex = -1
            Case "OptionButton", "CheckBox"
                ctrl.Value = False
            Case "ListBox"
                For i = 0 To ctrl.ListCount - 1
                    If ctrl.Selected(i) Then
                        ctrl.Selected(i) = False
                    End If
                Next i
        End Select
    Next
Next x

End Sub

Thanks AlphaFrog for your prompt response!
It works, but there is one small bug.

I actually have some other data entered in another Excel spreadsheet using the same userform.
Your edited codes reset controls 11 to 20 for this other spreadsheet instead of the spreadsheet for which I enter the 'static' and 'varying' data.
Is there a way to specify the spreadsheet I want to reset?

Apologies I did not share this earlier as I wanted to simplify my question.

Thank you very much again in advanced!

It sounds like you pasted the code in the wrong workbook. Put the code in the same code module of the userform you want to reset.

Thanks again AlphaFrog for your prompt response!

The code was pasted in the correct workbook.

To clarify, the data I would like to enter actually have three levels: company details, individual "static" details and "varying" details.

  • I want to have the company and individual details in two separate spreadsheets.
  • So I designed two separate subs / toggle buttons to transfer the data to their respective spreadsheets from the same user form.

This is the sub for company details
Code: 
Private Sub btnOK_Company_Click()

Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Worksheets("CompanyDetails")

Dim newRow As Long
newRow = Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(ws.Range("A:A")) + 1

ws.Cells(newRow, 1).Value = Me.txt.........

End Sub


This is the sub for individual details

Code: 
 Private Sub btnOK_Individual_Click()

Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Worksheets("IndividualDetails")

Dim newRow As Long
newRow = Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(ws.Range("A:A")) + 1

ws.Cells(newRow, 1).Value = Me.txt.........

End Sub

The codes you shared reset controls 11 to 20 from the company details rather than the individual details.
Is it possible to specify that I only want to reset controls from the sub for the individual details?
Tried to search on Google but to no avail.

If it is not possible, I can think of two alternatives currently:
  • To have all of them under the same sub / spreadsheet, but this would mean multiple repetitions of company details and individual "static" details which would be quite messy.
  • To enter the company and individual data with two separate userforms.

Please advise.

Thank you very much in advanced! =)

Replace Me with the worksheet reference.

Code: 
Set ctrl = [B]Worksheets("IndividualDetails")[/B].Controls(x)

Thanks AlphaFrog!

Tried this but it gave "Run-time Error 438. Object doesn't support this property or method".
Debug command highlights the following codes:

Code: 
Set ctrl = Worksheets("IndividualDetails").Controls(x)

The following also gave the same errors:
Code: 
Set ctrl = Worksheets(1).Controls(x)

Code: 
Set ctrl = Sheets("IndividualDetails").Controls(x)

Code: 
Set ctrl = Sheets(1).Controls(x)


Also tried the following; no error but did not remove controls 11 to 20 from the correct worksheet.

Code: 
Private Sub Clear_Prog()

Worksheets("IndividualDetails").Select

Dim x As Integer
For x = 11 To 20
    Set ctrl = Me.Controls(x)
    Select Case TypeName(ctrl)
        Case "TextBox"
            ctrl.Text = ""
        Case "ComboBox"
            ctrl.ListIndex = -1
        Case "OptionButton", "CheckBox"
            ctrl.Value = False
        Case "ListBox"
            For i = 0 To ctrl.ListCount - 1
                If ctrl.Selected(i) Then
                    ctrl.Selected(i) = False
                End If
            Next i
    End Select
Next x

End Sub

Do you have any other thoughts?

If you want to upload an example workbook to a file share site and post the link here, I'll take a look at it.

Thanks AlphaFrog for offering!
I can't share the whole document in public, so I have simplified the userform, which you can find here:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1okhwS4EX_Vtst_nVggE3PzYA9JwOcA5v

Somehow after I simplified it, Clear_Prog (now renamed Clear_Ind_Var) no longer resets controls from the other worksheet.
But it still doesn't reset the controls from the intended worksheet and still gives the error if I use the codes you suggested earlier:
Code: 
Set ctrl = Worksheets("IndividualDetails").Controls(x)

This loops through all the controls on the second page (page(1)) of a Multipage object.

Code: 
[color=darkblue]Private[/color] [color=darkblue]Sub[/color] Clear_Ind_Var()
    
    [color=darkblue]Dim[/color] ctrl [color=darkblue]As[/color] MSForms.Control
    
[B]    [color=darkblue]For[/color] [color=darkblue]Each[/color] ctrl [color=darkblue]In[/color] Me.MultiPage1.Pages(1).Controls[/B]
        [color=darkblue]Select[/color] [color=darkblue]Case[/color] TypeName(ctrl)
            [color=darkblue]Case[/color] "TextBox"
                ctrl.Text = ""
            [color=darkblue]Case[/color] "ComboBox"
                ctrl.ListIndex = -1
            [color=darkblue]Case[/color] "OptionButton", "CheckBox"
                ctrl.Value = [color=darkblue]False[/color]
            [color=darkblue]Case[/color] "ListBox"
                For i = 0 [color=darkblue]To[/color] ctrl.ListCount - 1
                    [color=darkblue]If[/color] ctrl.Selected(i) [color=darkblue]Then[/color]
                        ctrl.Selected(i) = [color=darkblue]False[/color]
                    [color=darkblue]End[/color] [color=darkblue]If[/color]
                [color=darkblue]Next[/color] i
        [color=darkblue]End[/color] [color=darkblue]Select[/color]
    [color=darkblue]Next[/color]
    
[color=darkblue]End[/color] [color=darkblue]Sub[/color]
