Default Returning a value from a form

No, because a Userform is not a method, whereas MsgBox is. A Userform is a
class module, so you can set a Public property within that and read it on
exit with

Userform1.myVar

but for this you cannot unload the userform, you have to hide it (Otherwise
the property is unloaded with it).

Thanks. Thats nice and simple. But is there no slick way of doing it? Or

do
the inbuilt dailogs do exactly the same thing, but just hide the public
variable away.

Hello

I would like a form I have built to return a value to the sub that

called
it. The built in dialog boxes, like the OK/Cancel one do this. Anyone

know
how this can be achieved?

Thanks,
Steve
