Try using
Application.screenupdating = true

to clear the image of the form. Then set to false with another statement to
hide screen activity. What you are seeing is a "ghost" image that Excel has
not had time to clear.

Often in some of the workbooks I've built, a modal userform will continue
to
be visible even while the code processes. I'm trying to pin this down.
Is
it due to where in the code I turn screenupdating off or where the ".hide"
statement appears? Or is it something else? I suspect I need to make
sure
I "hide" the form before turning off screenupdating. Does where the
"hide"
statement occurs have any bearing? IOW does that need to be in one of the
events of the form or in the main module?
