I have a userform with 3 listboxes and 1 textbox. The first listbox gives 8 unique timeslots, the second listbox a choice, and the third listbox another choice, based on the choice from listbox 2.
The code I use transforms the data into the tab 'data', which is working perfectly.
The user can pick a timeslot, then answer listbox 2 and listbox 3, then fill in the textbox (which is irrelevant for now).
What I want to prevent is that a user can pick the same choice combination per timeslot (e.g. timeslot 08:00, choice a and choice a). It is ok he can pick the same choice in a different timeslot though (e.g. timeslot 09:00, choice a and choice a).

Code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()

Dim RecordRow As Long, RecordColumn As Long

RecordRow = Me.ListBox1.ListIndex + 7
RecordColumn = Me.ListBox2.ListIndex + 13

Cells(RecordRow, RecordColumn).Value = Me.TextBox1.Value

Dim irow As Long

Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Worksheets("Data")
irow = ws.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Row

With ws
.Range("A" & irow) = ListBox1.Value
.Range("B" & irow) = ListBox2.Value
.Range("C" & irow) = ListBox3.Value
.Range("D" & irow) = TextBox1.Value
End With
ListBox1.Value = ""
ListBox2.Value = ""
ListBox3.Value = ""
TextBox1.Value = ""
End Sub

Do you mean per time slot, ListBox2.Value can't be the same as ListBox3.Value?
Try adding the blue lines:
Rich (BB code):
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()

Dim RecordRow As Long, RecordColumn As Long

If ListBox2.Value = ListBox3.Value Then
    Beep
    MsgBox "You can't choose ....."
    Exit Sub
End If

RecordRow = Me.ListBox1.ListIndex + 7
RecordColumn = Me.ListBox2.ListIndex + 13
.......

Hi and thank you for your reply.
Listbox 2 has always a different value than Listbox 3.
E.g. Listbox 2 contains places, while listbox 3 contains restaurants in the selected place from listbox 2.
Users can choose timeslots from listbox 1, but should not be able to pick the same restaurant from the same timeslot. It's ok they pick the same restaurant in a different timeslot.
I hope i've made the problem clear. Thanks in advance!
