Incorporating refedit into Vlookup userform - vba

Question

I have a vlookup userform which autofills the details in the form based on the seat n°.
Now I want to incoroporate a ref edit to paste these data from the text box to the cells the user chooses with the refedit. Hence i would need some help in going about these. This is the code i have used. I potentially want to insert 3 refedit boxes for user to select the cell they want to paste each of the data (Name,Dept and Ext No.) from the textbox.
See my code below:
Option Explicit
Private Sub Frame1_Click()
End Sub
Private Sub TextBox1_Exit(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean)
Dim answer As Integer
answer = TextBox1.Value
TextBox2.Value = WorksheetFunction.VLookup(answer, Sheets("L12 - Data Sheet").Range("B:E"), 2, False)
TextBox3.Value = WorksheetFunction.VLookup(answer, Sheets("L12 - Data Sheet").Range("B:E"), 3, False)
TextBox4.Value = WorksheetFunction.VLookup(answer, Sheets("L12 - Data Sheet").Range("B:E"), 4, False)
End Sub
Private Sub TextBox2_Change()
End Sub
Private Sub TextBox3_Change()
End Sub
Private Sub TextBox4_Change()
End Sub
Private Sub CancelButton_Click()
Unload Me
End
End Sub
I have tried figuring out a code to solve this issue but I am getting an object required error. My rngcopy would be textbox2.value (Name) and the rngpaste location would be the ref edit 1.
This is the code
Private Sub PasteButton_Click()
Dim rngCopy As Range, rngPaste As Range
Dim wsPaste As Range
Dim answer As Integer
answer = TextBox1.Value
If RefEdit1.Value <> "" Then
TextBox2.Value = WorksheetFunction.VLookup(answer, Sheets("L12 - Data Sheet").Range("B:E"), 2, False)
Set rngCopy = TextBox2.Value
Set wsPaste = ThisWorkbook.Sheets(Replace(Split(TextBox2.Value, "!")(0), "'", ""))
Set rngPaste = wsPaste.Range(Split(TextBox2.Value, "!")(1))
rngCopy.Copy rngPaste
Else
MsgBox "Please select an Output range"
End If
End Sub

You should get the row index with Match and expose it to the form so it can be used by the copy function.
And to set the target pointed by a Ref control, just evalute the .Value property with Range():
Range(RefEdit.Value).cells(1, 1) = Worksheet.Cells(row, column)
The form:
The code:
' constants to define the data
Const SHEET_DATA = "L12 - Data Sheet"
Const COLUMN_SEAT = "B"
Const COLUMNN_NAME = "C"
Const COLUMN_DEPT = "D"
Const COLUMN_EXTNO = "E"
Private Sheet As Worksheet
Private RowIndex As Long
Private Sub TxtSeatNo_Change()
Dim seatno
'clear the fields first
Me.TxtName.value = Empty
Me.TxtDept.value = Empty
Me.TxtExtNo.value = Empty
RowIndex = 0
If Len(TxtSeatNo.value) Then
Set Sheet = ThisWorkbook.Sheets(SHEET_DATA)
On Error Resume Next
' get the seat number to either string or double
seatno = TxtSeatNo.value
seatno = CDbl(seatno)
' get the row index containing the SeatNo
RowIndex = WorksheetFunction.match(seatno, _
Sheet.Columns(COLUMN_SEAT), _
0)
On Error GoTo 0
End If
If RowIndex Then
' copy the values from the sheet to the text boxes
Me.TxtName.value = Sheet.Cells(RowIndex, COLUMNN_NAME)
Me.TxtDept.value = Sheet.Cells(RowIndex, COLUMN_DEPT)
Me.TxtExtNo.value = Sheet.Cells(RowIndex, COLUMN_EXTNO)
End If
End Sub
Private Sub BtCopy_Click()
If RowIndex < 1 Then Exit Sub
' copy the current values to the cells pointed by the ref controls
If Len(Me.RefName.value) Then _
Range(Me.RefName.value) = Sheet.Cells(RowIndex, COLUMNN_NAME)
If Len(Me.RefDept.value) Then _
Range(Me.RefDept.value) = Sheet.Cells(RowIndex, COLUMN_DEPT)
If Len(Me.RefExtNo.value) Then _
Range(Me.RefExtNo.value) = Sheet.Cells(RowIndex, COLUMN_EXTNO)
End Sub
Private Sub BtlClose_Click()
' close the form
Unload Me
End Sub

You are declaring your rngCopy as a Range Object and then later on you are binding it to a .value method of the range object.
Set rngCopy = TextBox2.Value
This is likely where you are encountering errors. Try declaring a string and assigning it to your copy value.
Dim string1 As String
string1 = TextBox2.Value
Step through your code editor with the LOCALS window open, and watch what happens to your rngCopy object when you assign a string to it.
