Hi,

I presently have a coding that works but it is extremely long and I would like to know if there is an easier way (I am presuming yes)

Present set up
ComboBox1(ListProv1) -select a Province / ComboBox2(ListCity1) -select a City
the list of cities will depend on the selection in Combobox1

this repeats up to (ListProv10)

here is the present coding:


Code:
Private Sub ListProv1_Change()
Dim index As Integer
 index = ListProv1.ListIndex
 
 ListCity1.Clear
 
Select Case index
     Case Is = 0
         With ListCity1
             .AddItem "Balzac"
             .AddItem "Brooks"
             .AddItem "Calgary"
             .AddItem "Coutts"
             .AddItem "Edmonton"
             .AddItem "Fort Macleod"
End With
     Case Is = 1
         With ListCity1
             .AddItem "Abbotsford"
             .AddItem "Agassiz"
             .AddItem "Armstrong"
             .AddItem "Burnaby"
             .AddItem "Chilliwack"
             .AddItem "Cloverdale"
             .AddItem "Coquitlam"
End With
     Case Is = 2
         With ListCity1
             .AddItem "Blumenort"
             .AddItem "Boissevain"
             .AddItem "Brandon"
             .AddItem "Carman"
             .AddItem "Dauphin"
             .AddItem "Emerson"
End With
     Case Is = 3
         With ListCity1
             .AddItem "Blacks Harbour"
             .AddItem "Clair"
             .AddItem "Edmunston"
             .AddItem "Florenceville"
             .AddItem "Fredericton"
             .AddItem "GrandFalls/Grand Sault"
             .AddItem "Moncton"
             .AddItem "Saint John"
             .AddItem "Shediac"
             .AddItem "Shippigan"
             .AddItem "St François"
             .AddItem "ST George"
             .AddItem "Woodstock"
End With
     Case Is = 4
         With ListCity1
             .AddItem "Bay Bulls"
             .AddItem "Bonavista"
             .AddItem "Brig Bay"
             .AddItem "Clarenville"
             .AddItem "Clarke's Beach"
             .AddItem "Corner Brook"
             .AddItem "Dildo"
             .AddItem "Glovertown"
End With
     Case Is = 5
         With ListCity1
             .AddItem "Antigonish"
             .AddItem "Berwick"
             .AddItem "Bible Hill"
             .AddItem "Bridgewater"
             .AddItem "Dartmouth"
             .AddItem "Digby"
             .AddItem "Halifax"
End With
     Case Is = 6
         With ListCity1
             .AddItem "Cambridge Bay"
             .AddItem "Rankin Inlet"
End With
     Case Is = 7
         With ListCity1
             .AddItem "Amherstburg"
             .AddItem "Barrie"
             .AddItem "Beamsvill"
             .AddItem "Belleville"
             .AddItem "Bradford"
             .AddItem "Bramalea"
End With         
     Case Is = 8
         With ListCity1
             .AddItem "Albany"
             .AddItem "Borden-Carleton"
             .AddItem "Charlottetown"
             .AddItem "Montague"
             .AddItem "Morell"
             .AddItem "Souris"
             .AddItem "O'Leary"
             .AddItem "Summerside"
End With    
     Case Is = 9
         With ListCity1
             .AddItem "Alma"
             .AddItem "Ange-Gardien"
             .AddItem "Anjou"
             .AddItem "Asbestos"
             .AddItem "Baie Comeau"
             .AddItem "Berthierville"
             .AddItem "Blainville"
 End With
     Case Is = 10
         With ListCity1
             .AddItem "Battleford"
             .AddItem "Carlyle"
             .AddItem "Duck Lake"
             .AddItem "Melfort"
             .AddItem "Moose Jaw"
End With
End Select
End Sub
Private Sub ListProv2_Change()
Dim index1 As Integer
 index1 = ListProv2.ListIndex
 
 ListCity2.Clear
 
Select Case index1
  Case Is = 0
         With ListCity2
             .AddItem "Balzac"
             .AddItem "Brooks"

and the whole thing restarts with the same cities ListProv10


As I said, I presently have it working but iy is very long (I also didn't list all the cities)



can you please provide some assistance?

What is =ROMAN(40) in Excel?
The Roman numeral for 40 is XL. Bill "MrExcel" Jelen's 40th book was called MrExcel XL.
One option would be to do it like
Code:
Dim Dic As Object

Private Sub ComboBox1_Click()
   Me.ComboBox2.Clear
   Me.ComboBox2.List = Dic(Me.ComboBox1.Value)
End Sub

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
   
   Set Dic = CreateObject("scripting.dictionary")
   Dic.Add "province1", Array("Balzac", "Brooks", "Calgary", "Coutts")
   Dic.Add "Province2", Array("Abbots", "Agassiz", "Burnaby")
   
   Me.ComboBox1.List = Dic.Keys
End Sub
But a simpler approach would be if you have the Provinces/cities on a sheet along the lines of
