How to activate Worksheet_change event

  Asked By: Dale    Date: Dec 06    Category: MS Office    Views: 926
  

I had a small requirement. I have added a combobox in excel sheet and
gave a input range and also cell link to this combobox. Whenever I
select a value in combobox I want to show certain data in Excel. For
this I want to use worksheet_change event to capture the value in cell
link of the above combo box. However the worksheet_change event is not
occurring eventhough the cell link is updating with list index of
combo box.

I hope I made the problem clear. Please let me know of any suggestions

Maybe link  another cell  to the link cell and trap it using the
Worksheet_Calculate event.

"However the worksheet_change  event is not occurring eventhough the cell  link is
updating with list  index of combo  box. "

Have you turned off events and forgot to turn them back on? Or during a debug,
stopped a macro before it was able to turn events back on? Are other event
macros working in your file?

Application.EnableEvents = False
Application.EnableEvents = True

could you post the code that is not working in your worksheet change event  so we
can see if there's something going wrong with that?

You really need to grab the combo-box's change event, not the cell's. I
don't think Excel generates a cell  change event  in this situation.

Alternatively, link  another cell directly to the target cell. IIRC Excel
will generate a change event for this second cell.
