Hi Guys,

I would love some help here if you can.

I have a Userform that has a Textbox1 and a Combobox1, with a command button. The Combo Box drop down has a list of items and gets the data from a sheet somewhere else in the workbook.
What I'd like to happen is if the user selects the PERSONAL EFFECTS option from the combo box drop down list and clicks the command button, then Textbox1 on the same Userform gets filled in with text that says "Personal Effects (cover 20% of Contents Sum Insured)"

Here is my code. But when I click on the command button nothing happens on TextBox1. I'm new to VBA so forgive me if this is a silly post.

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
If Me.ComboBox1.Value = "PERSONAL EFFECTS" Then
Me.TextBox1.Value = "Personal Effects (cover 20% of Contents Sum Insured)"
End If
End Sub

You can teach Excel a new custom list. Type the list in cells, File, Options, Advanced, Edit Custom Lists, Import, OK
Where do the original lists come from in the sheet, is there a named range etc. Its the lists on the sheet that is the issue not the coding.

Its on a sheet called Lists which is hidden. I opened that up and removed the space at the end of personal Effects but still couldnt get it to work.

In the code screen behind commadbutton one change the text to UPPER CASE as that is what it is looking for PERSONAL EFFECTS not Personal Effects, I just checked and it works.

VBA Code:
If Me.ComboBox1 = "PERSONAL EFFECTS" Then

Oh Hooray!! you are my hero! And I initially had it in CAPS. Thanks again ever so much for all your patience on such a silly human error

Problem is now it only works if the Personal Effects is selected.

I've tried adding this say that if the ComboBox is anything other than Personal Effects then Textbox must write what the user has manually put in the textbox field. But of course something is not right with my code.

ElseIf Me.ComboBox1 = "" Then
Me.TextBox1 = Me.TextBox1.Value

Got it to work using this, not too worry

ElseIf Me.ComboBox1 = Me.ComboBox1.Value Then
Me.TextBox1 = Me.TextBox1.Value
