SlideShowWindows error (integer out of range) - vba

I'm preparing a quiz using on PowerPoint using the controllers of VBA scripts. My aim to set multiple questions, each has 4 choices.

Why does the VBA Userform progress bar update every time that is it clicked?

Here's my problem:
I have a Userform Progress Bar that is intended to update the "% Completed" after each iteration of a For loop. However, when the Userform is clicked, the "% Completed" bar and value increment. I'm not sure why it does this and it appears to be only cosmetic but it's important that the "% Completed" bar and value match the present iteration status.
Is there a way to prevent this from occurring if the window is accidently clicked during the calculation?
Code:
Sub helpme()
Dim x As Long, y As Long, i As Double, j As Double, p As Double, q As Double
Dim max As Integer, max2 As Integer, maxTotal As Integer
Dim pctComp As Single
Dim startTime As Double
Dim runTime As Double
Dim sh As Worksheet
'Error handling for debugging
Dim errorCount As Long
Dim totalErrorCount As Long
x = 11
y = 11
max = InputBox("How many batches are we evaluating?", "Batch Range")
max2 = max
maxTotal = max + max2
For Each sh In Worksheets
Calculate
errorCount = ErrorCheck(sh.Range("A1:ZZ1000"))
If errorCount > 0 Then
MsgBox sh.Name & ": " & errorCount & " " & "error(s)"
End If
totalErrorCount = totalErrorCount + errorCount
Next
MsgBox "There are" & " " & totalErrorCount & " " & "in workbook"
startTime = Timer
runTime = Timer

Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.EnableEvents = False

runTime = Timer
pctComp = Round((i / maxTotal) * 100, 1)
Progress pctComp

Application.EnableEvents = False

End With
y = y + 11

Repeating msgbox

I've created 3 combobox as below which are to generate results from a listbox. I would like to generate an error box if any of the 3 comboboxes are left empty. However, the code I wrote generates multiple error msg boxes. How do I fix this so msgbox only appears once?
Private Sub Generateresults_Click()
Dim x As Integer
Dim i As Integer
Dim j As Integer
Dim p As Integer
p = Sheets("Training1A").UsedRange.Rows.Count
Sheets("Results").Range("A2:P" & p).ClearContents
x = 2
For i = 0 To Me.Listtest.ListCount - 1
If Me.Searchoption = "AND" Then
If Me.Listtest.Column(1, i) = Search1 And Me.Listtest.Column(2, i) = Search2 Then
For j = 0 To 9
Sheets("results").Cells(x, j + 1) = Me.Listtest.Column(j, i)
Next j
x = x + 1
Else
x = x
End If
ElseIf Me.Searchoption = "OR" Then
If Me.Listtest.Column(1, i) = Search1 Or Me.Listtest.Column(2, i) = Search2 Then
For j = 0 To 9
Sheets("results").Cells(x, j + 1) = Me.Listtest.Column(j, i)
Next j
x = x + 1
Else
x = x
End If
ElseIf Me.Searchoption = "ALL" Then
For j = 0 To 9
Sheets("results").Cells(x, j + 1) = Me.Listtest.Column(j, i)
Next j
x = x + 1
Else
x = x
**If Searchoption = "" Or Search1 = "" Or Search2 = "" Then
MsgBox "Select an option"
End If**
End If
Next i
End Sub
If you want to bail out after dispaying the first MsgBox, put Exit Sub under it.
If Searchoption = "" Or Search1 = "" Or Search2 = "" Then
MsgBox "Select an option"
Exit Sub
End If
Otherwise, the MsgBox call being inside the For...Next loop body, it will be repeated for every iteration that satisfies the conditions.
If you need to run more code between Next and End Sub regardless of whether the MsgBox was shown or not, then you can also Exit For, to exit the loop but remain inside the procedure:
If Searchoption = "" Or Search1 = "" Or Search2 = "" Then
MsgBox "Select an option"
Exit For
End If

Table editing with excel vba causing crashing and cell lockup

I have made a userform that allows the user to select a table and add rows to it and fill those rows with various information, all from the userform. I have run into a few problems with this.
First after adding or during adding the items (after hitting submit) excel would crash. It occurs randomly and is hard to reproduce.
Second after running the macro there is a good chance that all the cells in the workbook and every other object except the userform button will stop working, meaning you can't edit interact or even select anything. Then when I close the workbook excel crashes after saving. This is my major offender and I think causes the other problem.
What causes this freezing and why does it occur? How do I fix it? I have looked around and haven't found anything circumstantial. One post said that I should try editing the table with no formatting on it and I did that and it didn't work.
I can provide the excel workbook at a request basis via pm.

how to check OS system date format using excel vba

I am using excel 2007, ms visual basic 6.0.
I required to check the window os date format (e.g, whether is it using d/m/yyyy or m/d/yyyy), in order to using the following code.
Dim lastdateofmonth As Date

slastdayofmonth = "31"
'if the OS system is using m/d/yyyy then use this
lastdateofmonth = (sTxtMMM + "/" + slastdayofmonth + "/" + TxtYYYY)
lastwhichday = Weekday(lastdateofmonth)
'if th OS system is using d/m/yyyy then use this
lastdateofmonth = (slastdayofmonth+ "/" + sTxtMMM + "/" + TxtYYYY)
anyone can help? Thanks in advance

VBA realtime filter Listbox through Textbox

With Me.ListBox1
.ColumnCount = 5
.ColumnWidths = "40; 40; 160; 40; 40"
.RowSource = ""
Set MyData = Range("" & firstcell & ":" & selcell & "")
.List = MyData.Cells.Value
For r = .ListCount - 1 To 0 Step -1
If .List(r, 3) = "" Or .List(r, 3) = "0" Then
.RemoveItem r
End If
Next r
End With
End If
End Sub
Finally I could come out with something!
Sub Filter_Change()
Dim i As Long
Dim Str As String
Str = Me.Filter.Text
Me.RefreshList
If Not Str = "" Then
With Me.ListBox1
For i = .ListCount - 1 To 0 Step -1
If InStr(1, LCase(.List(i, 0)), LCase(Str)) = 0 And InStr(1, LCase(.List(i, 1)), LCase(Str)) = 0 And _
InStr(1, LCase(.List(i, 2)), LCase(Str)) = 0 And InStr(1, LCase(.List(i, 3)), LCase(Str)) = 0 Then
.RemoveItem i
End If
Next i
End With
End If
End Sub
I know, the answer is couple of years old...
But I thought I'd share solution that works the best for me, because the filter is blazing fast even when there are thousands of items in the list. It is not without a "catch", though:
it uses a Dictionary object
Option Explicit
Dim myDictionary As Scripting.Dictionary
Private Sub fillListbox()
Dim iii As Integer
Set myDictionary = New Scripting.Dictionary
' this, here, is just a "draft" of a possible loop
' for filling in the dictionary
For iii = 1 To RANGE_END
If Not myDictionary.Exists(UNIQUE_VALUE) Then
myDictionary.Add INDEX, VALUE
End If
Next
myListbox.List = myDictionary .Items
End Sub
Private Sub textboxSearch_Change()
Dim Keys As Variant
Keys = myDictionary .Items
myListbox.List = Filter(Keys, textboxSearch.Text, True, vbTextCompare)
End Sub
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Call fillListbox
End Sub
