Advanced Calculations and If statements for Textbox

I am creating a userform that will input information on to spreadsheet, all boxes/comboboxes/labels, etc have been completed/asignd and set.


I have a combobox that has values of:
Hourly
Weekly
Bi-Weekly
Monthly
Yearly

I have txtMGI which will be set to calculate based on each option
for Hourly it will take textbox a * b * 52 / 12
the formula i am using is txbMGI.Value = ((txtboxA.value * txtboxb)*52)/12
This is tied to a If statement also, but i am not sure if the Else value is needed to complete the if statement.
Here is a code sample

I am stumped on the else part and if it is needed, because i am going to have to add other if conditions to have it calculate, and so far just running the form, the txtMGI does not even update to the correct value.

Any Help would be appreciated.

I tried the code, but txtMGI did not update. Is there something that i am missing in the code to have the txtMGI auto update?

Yes the code is in the form module named frmInput, I am not getting any errors, the box is not updating once txtHRRT and txtHRWK are updated, txtMGI should go the calculation based on the if condition..but nothing happens. Could it be an incorrect Sub i am using to have the textbox update?

Would it be something like this?

If so, i have to click around then it updates, is this correct? If it can be trigged by a Tab or Enter it would be preferred

Thankyou for the code, it is updating, but stll a couple of extra clicks and it displays a 0 (which that will be a whole other issue on formating the boxes )value when exiting the other txt boxes, which is fine, just as long it does update , would the same Sub UpdateMGI apply if say cboPAYF were for "Weekly" which would be val(txtWK.value)*52, or that could simply be solved by just adding a few more if statments in the sub?

Thankyou again, you are a life saver. I am still having some issues with it updating, i have added the other conditions but now it does not seem to work at all.

Here is the updated code:

I hope i am not missing something, There is nothing on the properties of the combo/text boxes that needs to be changed such as TabKeyBehaviour/EnterKeyBehaviour for this to work fluidly?

Note: I corrected what appeared to be a misspelling of "Monthly"

Now That i did not know, i have another sub that was setup the previous way and working with no issues, thankyou for catching my spelling error, not the first time i have done that lol. After updating the code, i still have the exit problem with updating, but when going back to cboPAYF and exiting it does update, I am thinking its based on the exit order in the code. Should i change the order for the exit subs? or Is there another way around that to have it calculate after exiting the appropriate box or does it have to be cycled to get the exit to work?

Which i do, after looking over all of them from your advisement on the incorrect spelling. It seems to only trigger when exiting the cboPAYF box. As apposed to using multiple triggers i have changed to using a command button to do the calculation and update the box. I can't tell you how appreciative of your assistance i am. Thankyou again for your help. now for the fun task of formatting the textboxes to $ and %
