Customizing form fill docs with dropdowns

Default Still working on this

Hi again,


I've picked back up on this and am continuing to try and populate fields based on dropdown content.

I am using the example template posted at the beginning of this thread. I have done the following:

1. On the example template, edited the dropdown content to display my content needed via the Developer tab's "properties=>display name/value" menu.
2. Verified that my changes worked on the example template.
3. Copied the dropdown from the example sheet to my sheet (I believe there was a comment saying this should be possible?)
4. Copied the text field from the example sheet to my sheet.
5. Accessed the Macro code in the example sheet via Alt+F11.
6. Copied macro code.
7. Opened VBA on my sheet via Alt+F11
8. Copied macro code into my sheet

After these steps I selected one of my dropdown values and it did not change the content of the text field as it had before. I tried to trouble shoot by comparing the how the macro looked in the example template vs. mine. As far as I can tell they are identical except for the "Option Explicit" header on the example screen shot, which I don't understand (screen shots attached).

The attachment "Form Screen Cap" shows what I want to do. The dropdown under "Sales Representative" should populate the info in the three circled categories.
