The call to DoEvents should have painted the user form before initiating the
workbook save...

Another way might be to show the user form as non modal, wait for 1 or 2
seconds. then execute the save and finally close the workbook. Try something
like this in the ThisWorkbook code module.

Private bProgramClosing As Boolean

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
If Not bProgramClosing Then
UserForm7.Show False
Application.OnTime Now + TimeValue("00:00:2"),
"ThisWorkbook.CloseWorkBook"
Cancel = True
End If
End Sub

Sub CloseWorkBook()
ThisWorkbook.Save
bProgramClosing = True
Me.Close
End Sub

False made the userform lose all graphics nothing but a blank whits screen.
Save worked as should. Maybe the close button on excel could trigger the form
and use the form to save and close. have never used the close x to do
something like this.
Do have the userform option button so will save and close. Am trying to have
this be seen while program closes
Thanks

Curt,

You need to show the form as non-modal.. Give this a try:


Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)

UserForm7.Show False
DoEvents
ThisWorkbook.Save

End Sub
