This is something that i don't understand. This code has been working for years, but now for some reason, it won't. There are a simple couple of comboBoxes (ComboBox1 and ComboBox2). Now when I try to run, I get a compile error because these are not recognized. If I go into the spreadsheet where the combo boxes are, and right click on them, I do not get a properties option like before, but now Excel thinks that these are pictures. The name box still says ComboBox1, but there is nothing in the value box. On a similar working file it says =EMBED("Forms.ComoBox1",""). I tried typing this in, but that didn't work. I also tried assigning macros and even deleting and re-inserting the boxes. Nothing seems to work. I can compare this bad file to similar files used in different areas that function just fine. There is no difference in the code. Any ideas?
