    Combo box not showing full list

    new new.xlsm


    Hello all in the attached I have six combo boxes that feeld of a list on the calculations page. for whatever reason it will not display the whole list, and even when i get it to do that the connected passwords only work for the first several guys on the list.

    Secondly the start stop buttons keep resizing. I have stretched them to match the cells they are in but every time I click them they resize.

    Please help.

    P.S.

    I belive i have unlocked everything but if i have not

    All sheet passwords = Traveler
    VBA password = Touchdown_97

    Re: Combo box not showing ful list

    Your comboboxes are using a ListFillRange of CALCULATIONS!A2:A152. I checked them all and they all have the complete list. By the way, this range should be A3:A151. Even better would be to use a dynamic range, because the list of employees is certain to change.

    the connected passwords only work for the first several guys on the list.
    Your code depends on the named range tblEmployees which is set to range =CALCULATIONS!$A$2:$A$92. However, your data goes to row 151 (see note above). So when you pick someone out of the combobox who is after row 92, the Find operation to look up the password doesn't find him. TO fix this, update your named range.

    You should use the same named range to populate the combobox and to lookup employees.

    There are known issues with ActiveX controls changes sizes, especially if you are using a display that with a resolution not native to the machine. A workaround is to replace your buttons with Forms controls. FWIW I do not have this problem when I open your file.

    Go to Formulas, Name Manager, and click on tblEmployees. Update the range from CALCULATIONS!$A$2:$A$92 to be this formula:
    Formula: copy to clipboard
    Please Login or Register  to view this content.

    This formula will always capture all the employees in the list no matter how many are added or removed.

    Go to Developer, click on Design. Right click on each of your comboboxes and set the ListFillRange property to be tblEmployees.

    Now you have a dynamic range to list employees and every place that needs to refer to that list is using the same range.

    You have to unprotect the sheet first.
