Evening All,

Could someone help me understand what I am doing wrong please.

I am trying to create a user form (my first one)

When I use userform_initialize it works the very first time I run the script. I then close the form to make some changes and next time I run the same script I get ' Run-time error '424' Object Required.

The form is called ScannerInput, so I changed my code to ScannerInput_Initialized but then my preset inputs dont appear. Code below.

Thanks,

Code:
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()


With DepartmentListBox
    .AddItem "Goods In"
    .AddItem "Machine Shop"
    .AddItem "Quality In"
    .AddItem "Quality Out"
    .AddItem "Goods Out"
End With


NameTextBox.Value = "UserName"


DateTextBox.Value = "Use TODAY()"


TimeTextBox.Value = "Use NOW()"


BarcodeTextBox.Value = "Scan Barcode"


End Sub

You can teach Excel a new custom list. Type the list in cells, File, Options, Advanced, Edit Custom Lists, Import, OK
To start I used the 'x' in the top right corner.

I then tried

Code:
Private Sub CancelCommandButton_Click()


Unload Me


End Sub

I have tried closing and reopening excel to get it to load with initialize but now I only get the error message mentioned above

I think it was something glitchy going on, as I had to restart for another reason and now it is working as expected. Thank you for your reply, and sorry for wasting your time.

Although you changed the name of your userform, the declaration for the initialize event should remain as...

Code:
[COLOR=#333333]Private Sub [B]UserForm[/B]_Initialize()[/COLOR]

Otherwise you'll find that the initialize event won't get triggered when the userform is shown.
