Run-time error: '-2147024809 (80070057): Invalid Argument

All I am wanting to do is delete the first item in combobox2 based on the selection of combobox1. What am I doing wrong. Please give a thorough explanation, so I can understand. Thank you.

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
    
    Dim ctrl As Control
    
    For Each ctrl In UserForm1.Controls
        If TypeName(ctrl) = "TextBox" Then ctrl.Value = ""
        If TypeName(ctrl) = "ComboBox" Then
            ctrl.RowSource = "Employees!A2:A" & Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
        End If
    Next
  
End Sub

Private Sub ComboBox1_Change()
    With Me.ComboBox1
        If .ListIndex >= 0 Then
            .RemoveItem Me.ComboBox2.ListIndex '[B]Error occurs on this line[/B]
        End If
    End With
    
End Sub

If you use Rowsource, you need to delete the source cell since the two are linked.

Parton my vba ignorance but what is the source cell, in this case? The Rowsource is set only with VBA code and not in the "Properties -ComboBox1".

 

[RoryA]

It doesn’t matter how you set the rowsource property. The source cell is whichever one has the value you are trying to remove. Do you actually need to use Rowsource?

 

[Pookiemeister]

The values come from the below code which populates all the comboboxes on the userform, which the user will select from.

"Employees!A2:A" & Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row

 

[RoryA]

I know that.

What I’m asking is if you have a particular reason for using rowsource to load the data into the control? For example, if you’re using column headers.

 

[Pookiemeister]

That's just what i saw other people do when searched the web on how to populate a combobox.

Try using:

ctrl.List = sheets("Employees").range("A2:A" & Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row).value
