I've never experienced any problems with this.

Maybe your userform isn't called dipboard?

Maybe its the CAPTION of the userform you have named and NOT the (name) of
the userform.

Try this

Sub Auto_Open

Userform1.show
'Or
'Load Userform1

'Or change userform1 to dipboard

End Sub

If this isn't your problem I will be stumpt, unless you have imported the
userform
