72138 2002-08-18 04:46:00 Hi I keep getting a runtime error 380 in my Excel VBA code. Clicking on the error help button shows a totally blank help page. I have looked through the Help but cant find a list of error codes and what they mean so I am a bit stuck.

The error I believe has something to do with how I am opening and closing forms and/or initializing combo box lists.

--Background--
I have a main menu form that appears on Auto_Open and then other forms are shown dependant upon the option selected in the main menu form. Each form has combo boxes and I am using the following example statement to initialize each combo box values in the Userform_Activate event where TranType is just a named range ...

With cboTranType
.RowSource = "TranType"
.ListIndex = 2
End With

To open and close forms I am using the Unload stmt to close the current form then Load and Show to display the new form. Example -

Unload frmCardDetails
Load frmMenu
frmMenu.Show

--Error Condition--
The runtime 380 error occurs when I have opened a form from the Main Menu (which closes main Menu and opens selected form), closed that form to take me back to the Main Menu, then re-selected the same form again. The error has the RowSource line highlighted as the error.

I would be grateful if anyone knows where i can get a list of runtime errors and also any ideas on why this is happening. I thought it might be to do with opening and closing forms as it doesnt happen when initially opening a form - only when I try it a second time.

cheers

72139 2002-08-18 05:42:00 I think it's got something to do with unloading the form; I recall having similar probs but fixed it just by using frmWhatever.Hide rather than unloading it. Not very neat, I know but it did work :)

Go here (support.microsoft.com) for a list of error codes.

Error 380 is listed as Invalid property value (version 97)
