Using forms?
On question 2, if the code module is in the same project as the form, which
I assume that it is, add
Option Private Module
at the head of the module, and keep the subs public.

Hi,
Using Excel 2003 here. I've created a form but have a couple questions
on
how to implement them. I made a subroutine that calls the form with a
show
statement. What I'd like to see happen is when the user clicks a botton
on
the form it runs another routine to perform some actions. I have this
other
routine working now but I noticed that by default it is public. My
concern
with this is that someone may just go to Tools | Macros and run the
routine
without running the form. I use the form to force the user into setting a
number of variables needed for the routine. It also seems as though the
called routine doesn't complete until the form is closed. It's performing
a
remote query of a SQL server.
My questions are then:
1.) How can I get the remote query to complete without releasing the form?
2.) How can I return a value from the form to the calling program? I'd
like
to make the second subroutine private but if I do I can't run it from the
form itself. So I'd like to return a value to the calling subroutine and
continue exicution from there.
Hope this makes sense and thanks in advance for your help.
