Letter references

What was the short code needed to prevent need for ASCII accuracy when entering code - eg so you could enter any case letters into a combo box on a form?

RE: Letter references

Hi Oliver, thanks for your query. Option Explicit forces you to be specific in how you declare your variables and that can be toggled on (to force case sensitive use of variables) or off (to allow case insensitivity...and therefore typos!). It needs to go at the start of your code if your going to use it. Case sensitivity in combo boxes and on forms is a separate issue to the code and you need to alter the properties of each individual control to ensure case sensitivity.

Hope this helps,

Anthony

Excel tip:

Make a quick copy of a worksheet

Hold down the Ctrl key, then click and drag on a sheet tab to make a copy of that sheet. Though this process usefully copies the formats of the original sheet, note that any Range Names you have on the original sheet will be duplicated too.

To make a copy of a worksheet's contents and formats without duplicating range names: (1) Ensure that you have a blank worksheet to paste to. (2) On the sheet to copy, click on the sheet selection square to the left of Column A's heading to select the whole sheet. (2) Copy the whole sheet. (3) Paste to the blank worksheet.
