Userform runtime error 380- could not set the rowsource property - fix?

Code has been working perfectly for past year. Made some edits and extended some of the data - ensured it was all lined up correct at the time. I came to use it but now I am getting the following error

runtime error 380: could not set the rowsource property"

I have narrowed it down to .RowSource = "VOLNAME2" but I haven't changed anything about this data.

The error initially comes up when you press the button to bring this UserForm up, so debug starts on newlog.show (separate module). However, I used F8 to highlight the error line as above.

I tried redefining the name manager and renaming it. Deleted and re-entered it. I had a look at some other answers but couldn't see anything that stood out as the answer. 

Sub UserForm_Initialize()

Dim R As Range
Me.TextBox2.Locked = True
Me.TextBox3.Locked = True
Me.CommandButton1.Enabled = False      
With Me.ComboBox4
  .RowSource = "VOLNAME2"
  .MatchEntry = fmMatchEntryComplete
  .Style = fmStyleDropDownList
End With 

With Me.ComboBox1
  .RowSource = ""
  .MatchEntry = fmMatchEntryComplete
  .Style = fmStyleDropDownList
  For Each R In Range("'Database'!F4:F23")
    .AddItem R.Text
  Next
End With

With Me.ComboBox3
 .RowSource = ""
 .MatchEntry = fmMatchEntryComplete
 .Style = fmStyleDropDownList
 For Each R In Range("'Database'!F26:F51")
   .AddItem R.Text
  Next
End With

With Me.ComboBox2
 .RowSource = ""
 .MatchEntry = fmMatchEntryComplete
 .Style = fmStyleDropDownList
 For Each R In Range("'Database'!H3:H32")
   .AddItem R.Text
  Next
End With
End Sub

I am expecting the defined name "volname2" to populate combobox 4

You can't update the rowSource for these to straight values, they require a range or some other lookup. Change:

With Me.ComboBox4
  .RowSource = "VOLNAME2"
  .MatchEntry = fmMatchEntryComplete
  .Style = fmStyleDropDownList
End With

To one of these options:

Option - 1 Clears the list adds the requested text and sets the index to display that value

ComboBox1.Clear 
ComboBox1.AddItem ("volname2")
ComboBox1.ListIndex = 0

Option 2 - Clears the list and sets the text value to requested value. Personally this is a bad choice, because you'll have to forcibly clear the text value with .Text = "" if you want to re-use it.

ComboBox1.Clear 
ComboBox1.Text = "volname2"
