Hi Tom,

thanks.... but the problem is the same... here is the code involved:


the DammitButton in inside Frame1 on the userform "S2pViewer" -



Private Sub DirListBox_DblClick(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean)

DammitButton.Visible = True
Application.OnTime Now + TimeValue("0:0:4"), "S2pViewer.DammitClear"

End Sub

Public Sub DammitClear()
DammitButton.Visible = False
End Sub



The error message is that the macro S2pViewer.DammitClear cannot be found.


Excel 2002


Thx,

MP
