I have created a userform containing 1 textbox, 2 comboboxes, and 1
commandbutton.

My problem is this,  when data is entered in the textbox or comboboxes it is
put into their variables but when I click on the commandbutton the variables
have no data in them anymore.

I have a test msgbox that displays the variables and the data is there, but
the test msgbox in the command button shows the variables as empty.

I have included the entire code below:

Private Sub TextBox1_Change()
   
   xbatch = TextBox1
   xval = 1

End Sub

Private Sub ComboBox1_Change()
   
   xweek = ComboBox1
   xval = 2
MsgBox (xweek & "-" & xval)
End Sub

Private Sub ComboBox2_Change()
   
   xdow = ComboBox2
   xval = 3

End Sub

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
   
'    If xval = 3 Then
MsgBox (xbatch & ",  " & xweek & ",  " & xdow)
'        Summary_of_Orders_Report xbatch, xweek, xdow
'    End If
'    MsgBox ("You must enter a value in all the fields" & vbCrLf & "xval = "
& xval)

End Sub

Private Sub userform_initialize()
       
   'Set up the public variables the macro will use
   Dim x, xval As Integer
   Dim xbatch, xweek, xdow As String
   
   'Initialize the week and day combo boxes by adding the correct values to
them
   x = 1
   For x = 1 To 52 Step 1  'The week number
      ComboBox1.AddItem (x)
   Next x
   ComboBox2.AddItem ("Monday")
   ComboBox2.AddItem ("Tuesday")
   ComboBox2.AddItem ("Wednesday")
   ComboBox2.AddItem ("Thursday")
   ComboBox2.AddItem ("Friday")

End Sub

In the CommandButton1_Click routine, just refer directly to the .value
attribute of the other controls.

The reason however that your code is failing is that you have not declared
the variables as public and hence they are only valid in the individual
routines.

If you have Option Explicit as the first line of code, your routines would
not even compile as they are.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Doug.  I was tyring to declare my variables as public, but I was doing
it inside the sub.  Jezzebel told me I had to move the public statement to
the top before I add any subs or functions and this worked just great.
