In the vbe, do Insert=Module
See Stephen Bullens site and down load formfun.zip and oncompress it to see
how you can manipulate a userform.

I am writing a simple front-end for a sql server database out of Excel. I
have done something similar out of Access, but I am constrained to Excel this
time around and the slight differences between the two in approach is causing
me problem.
Two problems:
I have built a user form which alllows the user to select a report (the name
of a sql stored procedure) that he wants to run. I have written a generic vba
subroutine to run the user-selected procedure named, oh so cleverly,
runselectedprocedure.
The call runselectedprocedure line coded in the double-click event of a list
box bombs, saying it can't find the subroutine (sub or fuction not defined).
Where do I put the code for the subroutine ( I don't want to put it on the
form, because I will be having multiple forms needing to access the same
subroutine)
I have tried putting the subroutine both under "sheet1" and "thisworkbook"
sections under the VBA Project Explorer. I have tried Public Sub and Private
Sub --neither works.
Second,
I open the user form with a .show command under the workbook_open event.
It doesn't look like I want it to. For instance, I have tried both a
docmd.maximize and docmd.minimize line under the userform_open event. The
form looks the same regardless of whether it is minimized or maximized. Takes
up most of the screen but not all. Any suggestions?
I would appreciate any help anyone can give.
