Re: Validation in Combo From other WorkBook
If "DataList" is in a different workbook then preface the whole thing with the workbook name.
Re: Validation in Combo From other WorkBook
changed
====
Set wsList = oXl.Sheets("DataList")
===
now error on
Set cboTemp = ws.OLEObjects("TempCombo")
error:
Object variable or with block variable not set
Re: Validation in Combo From other WorkBook
You haven't set ws to be anything. Notice how in the SelectionChange sub it has been set to ActiveSheet...?
