I have a combobox with "Option1" and "Option2"
When Option1 is clicked, option1 is enabled and option2 is disabled, and when Option 2 is clicked, it is enabled and Options1 is disabled.
The problem is that it only works for the first time. When you click the opposite option the second time, nothing happens. How do I get it to constantly check what choice.text is?

(Toggle Plain Text)

Sub choice_Click()

If choice.Text = "Option 1" Then
option1.Enabled = True
option2.Enabled = False

ElseIf choice.Text = "Option 2" Then
option1.Enabled = False
option2.Enabled = True

End If
End Sub

Try using Sub choice1_Change().

Yeah _Change() will work for you.

Is there something else I need to add for it to know that it changed, because that doesnt work with what I have...

it could be:

(Toggle Plain Text)

Private Sub Choice1_Change()

I have no idea why, but now it works with choice_Click and not with choice_Change. Oh well, at least it does what I want it to do.
