This is the code I have come up with so far but I get a runtime error if I start typing something that is not in the list.

Code:
 
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
 
Dim xlApp As Object
Dim xlWb As Object
Dim xlSht As Object
Dim lastRow As Integer
Dim i As Long
 
'Centre user form in Application
Me.StartUpPosition = 0
Me.Top = Application.Top + (Application.Height / 2) - (Me.Height / 2)
Me.Left = Application.Left + (Application.Width / 2) - (Me.Width / 2)
 
'Populate Employee Details from Excel file
Set xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
 
Set xlWb = xlApp.Workbooks.Open '("Path\Employees.xlsx")
Set xlSht = xlWb.Worksheets(1)
 
cboID.ColumnCount = 4
 
With xlSht
lastRow = .Range("A" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
End With
 
With Me.cboID
For i = 2 To lastRow
.AddItem xlSht.Cells(i, 1)
.List(.ListCount - 1, 1) = xlSht.Cells(i, 2)
.List(.ListCount - 1, 2) = xlSht.Cells(i, 3)
.List(.ListCount - 1, 3) = xlSht.Cells(i, 4)
Next i
End With
 
xlApp.DisplayAlerts = False
xlWb.Close
Set xlSht = Nothing
Set xlWb = Nothing
xlApp.Quit
Set xlApp = Nothing
End Sub
 
Private Sub cboID_Change()
txtFName.Text = Me.cboID.Column(1)
txtGName.Text = Me.cboID.Column(2)
txtDOB.Text = Me.cboID.Column(3)
End Sub
It works if the user starts typing the correct numbers into the cboID.

If they do get a run-time error I just want it to reset and try again.

I am still a novice at all this but have been trolling the internet for days for a solution. Once again I appreciate your help.

Cheers

Stewie

Perhaps, then you need to consider why you're using a combobox instead of a ListBox, so they can only choose from the valid records.

Paul, the reason I am not using a list box is...there are around 2000 IDs and I want the user to start typing the ID number.

If they accidentially type the wrong number I get the run-time error(381).

So now the question is how do I handle that error and reset the form to type the correct number in.

Hope that is clearer than mud.

Cheers

Stewie
