Hello,

I have data sets I want to have code for that if I select a specific column, cell it opens a userform.

The data set starts with a number such as 9334231/1 below. It will always vary in length. then another number, just different, indicates start of a new data set.

If I was to select an Item code, Qty/Hrs etc I want that action to open a userform. I dont have a clue which way would be best?

The userform has been made in which I can select the trade in the first box, then codes associated with that trade populate the second box. On selection of a Item code the Qty/Hrs, Description and Location/Asset display in a textbox so the user can see if that is the code they want.

Essentially a data validation.

Often the client will send the order with incorrect Item code or Qty/Hrs and this is trying to automate changing the code.

Userform code

Code: 
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
    
    Me.ComboBox1.RowSource = ""
    Me.ComboBox2.RowSource = ""
    Me.TextBox1.MultiLine = True
    Me.TextBox1.BackColor = "&H80000004"
    
    'This code pulls the trade names
    With Sheets("GMSORs")

To assist you better (and quicker) ... if you could post a copy of your workbook to a cloud site (www.dropbox.com or similar) then post a link for download
so volunteers can see what you are dealing with.

It is difficult at best to re-create everything you see there.

In the Sheet module paste this :

Code: 
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)


If ActiveCell.Column <> 2 Then Exit Sub
    shwfrm


End Sub


Create a Regular module and paste this :

Code: 
Option Explicit


Sub shwfrm()
    GMSORs.Show
End Sub





In the Userform Initialize macro change it to this :

Code: 
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
    
    Me.ComboBox1.RowSource = ""
    Me.ComboBox2.RowSource = ""
    Me.TextBox1.MultiLine = True
    Me.TextBox1.BackColor = "&H80000004"
    
    'This code pulls the trade names
    With Sheets("GM SOR's")
        Me.ComboBox1.Value = ActiveCell.Offset(0, -1).Value
        Me.ComboBox2.Value = ActiveCell.Value
        ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Select
    End With


End Sub


Understand that with these changes in code, you are eliminating the way the Userform performed previously. You can no longer only open the UserForm and make a selection
from the two drop downs. The two drop downs are now solely populated by the cell (Col B only) the user double-clicks.

Hi Logit,

Thanks, however the userform references a large range of data to select from. The idea was that if a user selected a cell in column B say, the userform opens and a different selection can be made to a different Item code.
If I understand correctly this capability is lost with your suggestion?
Regards,
Wayne

Use this macro for the UserForm Initialize event :

Code: 
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
    
    Me.ComboBox1.RowSource = ""
    Me.ComboBox2.RowSource = ""
    Me.TextBox1.MultiLine = True
    Me.TextBox1.BackColor = "&H80000004"
    
    'This code pulls the trade names
    With Sheets("GMSOR's")
    Me.ComboBox1.List = .Range("K2", .Cells(.Rows.Count, "K").End(xlUp)).Value
    ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Select
    End With


End Sub

"launch userform by selecting a cell" and maintain the original design allowing for selecting from the entire list instead of the cell selection that was clicked.
