I got 3 ActiveX combo boxes in my sheet1.
I used some code in This Workbook
to populate first combo box list. Then I have created some function to get next set of combo box for cascading
values. below is function:
Function CascadeChild(TargetChild As OLEObject)
Dim Myconnection As Connection
Dim cmd As ADODB.Command
Dim Myrecordset As Recordset
Dim Myworkbook As String
Dim strSQL As String
Set Myconnection = New ADODB.Connection
Set cmd = New ADODB.Command
Set Myrecordset = New ADODB.Recordset
'Identify the workbook you are referencing
Myworkbook = Application.ThisWorkbook.FullName
'Open connection to the workbook
Myconnection.Open "--"
Select Case TargetChild.Name
Case Is = "Directorate"
strSQL = "Select Distinct Directorate AS [TgtField] from DBTable Where Division = '" & Sheet1.Division.Value & "' or 'All' = '" & Sheet1.Division.Value & "'"
Case Is = "Area"
strSQL = "Select Distinct Area AS [TgtField] from DBTable Where ( Division = '" & Sheet1.Division.Value & "' or 'All' = '" & Sheet1.Division.Value & "') AND (Directorate = '" & Sheet1.Directorate.Value & "' or 'All' = '" & Sheet1.Directorate.Value & "')"
End Select
'Load the Query into a Recordset
Myrecordset.Open strSQL, Myconnection, adOpenStatic
'Fill the target child listbox
With TargetChild.Object
.Clear
Do
.AddItem Myrecordset![TgtField]
Myrecordset.MoveNext
Loop Until Myrecordset.EOF
.Value = .List(0) '<<Automatically selects the first value in the ListBox
End With
'Clean up
Myconnection.Close
Set Myrecordset = Nothing
Set Myconnection = Nothing
End Function
Then I have written some code in Sheet1 in VBA:
Private Sub Division_Change()
Call CascadeChild(ActiveSheet.OLEObjects(Sheet1.Directorate.Name))
End Sub
Private Sub Directorate_Change()
Call CascadeChild(ActiveSheet.OLEObjects(Sheet1.Area.Name))
End Sub
First combo box giving values, then when I select value from ActiveX control, The error MSG populating with
Runtime Error, type mismatch
The Error coming with debug mode here .AddItem Myrecordset![TgtField]
Any help
