If I step into this code, it seems to be stuck in an infinite loop, yet if I run it, it's fine:

Code:
Option Explicit


Private Sub cmbGraph_Change()
    
    Me.cmbGraph.Clear
    
    Me.cmbGraph.List = Array("a", "b", "c")
    
    Application.EnableEvents = False
    
    Me.cmbGraph.ListIndex = 0
    
End Sub

so is it in an infinite loop and if so, how can I amend it?

Putting Application.EnableEvents = False doesn't help.

Thanks
 

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
Since this runs on "change", you want to disable the events before making any changes (like clearing), less it will keep calling itself.
Try:
Code:
Private Sub cmbGraph_Change()
    
    Application.EnableEvents = False

    Me.cmbGraph.Clear
    
    Me.cmbGraph.List = Array("a", "b", "c")
    
    Me.cmbGraph.ListIndex = 0

    Application.EnableEvents = True
    
End Sub

Application.Enableevents will not affect the Change event of a control. You'd need to use a control variable, although I'm not really clear why you'd want to do what you appear to be doing.
