Loop inside if statement with listindex

[Blacksibe]

Hi, So this is all new to me. Started with VBA and learning as I go. Need some help on the following please. I am populating a combobox "Tech2" with a list of job numbers according to a name in the first combobox "Tech1". That all works fine. The problem starts when the job number has been used and are no longer available in "Tech2". I wrote an If function to change the listindex so that there are no blank spaces. I'm testing a few ideas but for some reason I get a invalid property value on this line of code "Me.Tech2.ListIndex = startnr"

"[VBA]" Dim jobnr As String
Dim startnr As Integer
Dim endnr As Integer

'Tech2 combobox populates according to the name in Tech1 combobox where the name is a named range
jobnr = Tech1.Value
Sheets("Lists").Activate 'named range scope are sheets("Lists")'
Me.Tech2.RowSource = jobnr

endnr = 10000

If Me.Tech2 = "" Then
For startnr = 1 To endnr
Next startnr
End If

Me.Tech2.ListIndex = startnr "[/VBA]"

What is that loop before that line all about?

Probably best to post your workbook and tell us how to reproduce ths situation.

Before I post the workbook let me try and explain. I have a named range. Lets call it "Steve". In that range there are a list of numbers. You can make it 1 -100. When I choose Steve in Combobox 1, Combobox 2 is being populated by the named range "Steve". That works. Now say I delete the 1 from the range. Combobox 2 still shows the empty cells. With listindex and the If function I can set the combobox that it shows the next value, but only if I type in all the values. I want to make it dynamic. I thought loop might do the trick.

It doesn't work that way for me. As you are setting te rowsource property, when you delete an entry, the 2nd combo updates and reflects this.

I'll make a smaller sample workbook tonight and post it tomorrow.
