Run time error 424 Object Required working with UserForm - vba

Question

I'm trying to link a user form I built in VBA editor for MS Excel 2010 to the data in an excel worksheet, but I'm getting a
run-time error 424: Object required.
I referred to the active worksheet explicitly in my code to try and remedy this, but it still comes up with the same error. My code is:
Private Sub GetData()
Dim r As Long
r = ActiveSheet.Range("B2").Value
If IsNumeric(RowNumber.Text) Then
r = CLng(RowNumber.Text)
Else
ClearData
MsgBox "Invalid row number"
Exit Sub
End If
If r > 1 And r <= LastRow Then
cboFilterResultId.Text = FormatNumber(Cells(r, 1), 0)
txtFolderPaths.Text = Cells(r, 2)
txtFileName.Text = Cells(r, 3)
txtDeletedDate.Text = Cells(r, 4)
txtReason.Text = Cells(r, 5)
txtcboAdd.Text = Cells(r, 6)
txtcboView.Text = Cells(r, 7)
txtcboChange.Text = Cells(r, 8)
DisableSave
ElseIf r = 1 Then
ClearData
Else
ClearData
MsgBox "Invalid row number"
End If
End Sub
Where RowNumber is a textbox where the user can enter the row number for the data they want.
Please help!

I rarely use ActiveSheet just in case that isn't the sheet I'm after. Generally better to be explicit which sheet you're referring to:
r=ThisWorkbook.WorkSheets("Sheet1").Range("B2")
Right, pulling data from a worksheet to a userform... as you haven't said which line your error occurs on and you haven't given us the code for ClearData or DisableSave I'll start from scratch.
Example Form Design
I create a blank userform and add three text boxes and a spin button to it:
txtRowNumber holds the row number that the data is pulled from.
TextBox1 and TextBox2 will hold my sample values.
In the Tag property of TextBox1 I enter 1 and in the Tag property of TextBox2 I enter 2. These are the column numbers that the data will be pulled from.
In reality I usually add extra stuff, for example, 8;CPER;REQD. I'd then use some code to pull it apart so it pastes in column 8, must have a percentage and is a required entry.
spnButton is used to quickly move up or down a row.
We'll need two procedures to populate the form from the given row number and to clear all controls on the form (ready for the next row to be brought in).
Any textbox or combobox that has something in it's Tag property is cleared:
Private Sub ClearForm()
Dim frmCtrl As Control
For Each frmCtrl In Me.Controls
If frmCtrl.Tag <> "" Then
Select Case TypeName(frmCtrl)
Case "TextBox", "ComboBox"
frmCtrl.Value = Null
Case Else
'Do nothing.
End Select
End If
Next frmCtrl
End Sub
Any control that has a Tag value (it's assumed the value is correct) is populated from the specified RowNumber and column (from the Tag value). The value is always taken from the sheet called MyDataSheet in the workbook containing the VBA code (ThisWorkbook) no matter which is currently active:
Private Sub PopulateForm(RowNumber As Long)
Dim frmCtrl As Control
For Each frmCtrl In Me.Controls
With frmCtrl
If .Tag <> "" Then
.Value = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("MyDataSheet").Cells(RowNumber, CLng(.Tag))
End If
End With
Next frmCtrl
End Sub
Whenever txtRowNumber changes the form should update with values from the indicated row. To do this we'll need to clear the form of current data and then repopulate it:
Private Sub txtRowNumber_Change()
ClearForm
PopulateForm CLng(Me.txtRowNumber)
End Sub
The spin button should increase/decrease the value in .txtRowNumber. I've added checks that it doesn't go below 1. You should also add checks that it doesn't go higher than the last populated row.
Private Sub spnButton_SpinDown()
With Me
.txtRowNumber = CLng(.txtRowNumber) + 1
End With
End Sub
Private Sub spnButton_SpinUp()
With Me
If CLng(.txtRowNumber) > 1 Then
.txtRowNumber = CLng(.txtRowNumber) - 1
End If
End With
End Sub
Finally, the form should be populated when it is first opened:
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
With Me
.txtRowNumber = 2
.spnButton = .txtRowNumber
PopulateForm .txtRowNumber
End With
End Sub
