It is possible to have a user form visible but the excel application
invisible (application.visible = false). In the workbook open event you
could have code which shows the userform and hides excel (but make sure
you close excel and/or restore its visibility when you close the form).

Short of that, you can do things like hide gridlines, row and column
labels, and go full-screen, which goes a long way to getting rid of the
spreadsheet look. You could even look into things like hiding all
toolbars, etc. , I'm not sure how far you can go in that direction

Hope that helps
