renaming initialize just causes it not to fire, so there is nothing magic
there.

It sounds like you have a duplicate name defined somewhere. Maybe you named
a variable userform or named a procedure Userform.

You may need to find this problem and change it, then rebuild your project

Hello all,

This is my first time posting to this group, so I'm sorry if I
(unintentionally) don't follow proper conventions.

My problem is with creating a macro that utilizes multiple userforms.
Of course, this means that each userform has its own name, own code,
etc. The problem lies with the Userform_Initialize() event. If I use
this code:

PartsFindForm.Show 'where PartsFindForm is the name of the userform

Userform_Initialize() gives me an error and Excel refuses to run until
I change the name to PartsFindForm_Initialize(). Of course, Excel then
no longer recognizes this as an event and skips any code inside the
Sub. What should I do to make this work? As of now I am running
everything with the Userform_Activate() event which works perfectly
(like Initialize() should) with the problem that code that I only want
running once gets run multiple times. This error also occurs with Load,
Hide, and any other Userform specific commands.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
