Hi
Try throwing in a
DoEvents

after you unload Form1. Sometimes kicks the screen into action. It may
be that your form is unloaded but the screen has not updated.

Every post I've found for this problem seems to have been resolved with
Application.ScreenUpdating = True. Not in this case.

With 2 UserForms, Form 1 remains visible behind Form 2, even though Form 1
was unloaded before Form 2 was loaded & shown.

The main code module (all variables are Public):

Sub ACRE_MthCtrb()

* *Application.ScreenUpdating = True

* * ThisWorkbook.Activate
* * FilPth = ThisWorkbook.Path & "\"

<< *The 1st UserForm loads, executes & unloads in function VldLogin() .
* * * *This form & function are in a separate, hidden workbook, with a
reference
* * * *set in the current workbook.

* * LoginVld = VldLogin()
* * If Not LoginVld = True Then
* * * * ActiveWindow.Close _
* * * * * * SaveChanges:=False
* * End If

<< Here, the 2nd UserForm, ProgBar, appears. The 1st form already unloaded.

* * Application.ScreenUpdating = False

* * ProgBar.LblProgBar.Width = 0
* * ProgBar.Show

<< Remainder of processing is in Sub Prc(), called from UserForm ProgBar *

* * Workbooks("ACRE Monthly Contributions.xls").Activate
* * Application.ScreenUpdating = True
* * ActiveWindow.Close _
* * * * SaveChanges:=False
End Sub

Sub Prc()
.
.
. *
End of module

<< The 1st UserForm, QryLogin, loads in this module, Login:

Public Function VldLogin() As Boolean
* * Abt = vbNo
* * Load QryLogin
* * QryLogin.Show
* * If Abt = vbYes Then
* * * * VldLogin = False
* * Else
* * * * VldLogin = True
* * End If
End Function

<< Userform QryLogin contains the following code:

Private Sub OK_Click()
* * Dim LoginAut As Boolean

* * If Len(Trim(Me.UsrID)) = 0 Then
* * * * MsgBox ("You Must Enter A User Name")
* * * * Me.UsrID.SetFocus
* * ElseIf Len(Trim(Me.Psw)) = 0 Then
* * * * MsgBox ("You Must Enter A Password")
* * * * Me.Psw.SetFocus
* * Else
* * * * LoginAut = AutLogin(Me.UsrID, Me.Psw)
* * * * If LoginAut = True Then
* * * * * * Login.UsrID = Me.UsrID.Value
* * * * * * Login.Psw = Me.Psw.Value

<< Here is the Unload for the 1st form

* * * * * * Unload Me
* * * * Else
* * * * * * MsgBox ("Invalid Username or Password; Please Re-Enter")
* * * * * * Me.UsrID.SetFocus
* * * * End If
* * End If
End Sub

Function AutLogin(ByVal UsrID As String, _
* * * * * * * * * * * * * *ByVal Psw As String) _
* * * * *As Boolean

* * Const ADS_SECURE_AUTHENTICATION = 1
* * Dim Aut * * As Object * * * ' Authentication
* * Dim Dmn * * As String * * * ' Domain
* * Dim G_C * * As Object * * * ' Global Catalog
* * Dim Root * *As Object * * * ' RootDSE

* * On Error Resume Next
* * Set Root = GetObject("GC://rootDSE")
* * Dmn = Root.Get("defaultNamingContext")
* * Set G_C = GetObject("GC:")
* * Set Aut = G_C.OpenDSObject("GC://" & Dmn, UsrID, Psw,
ADS_SECURE_AUTHENTICATION)

* * If Aut Is Nothing Then
* * * * AutLogin = False
* * Else
* * * * AutLogin = True
* * End If

* * Set Aut = Nothing
* * Set G_C = Nothing
* * Set Root = Nothing
End Function

<< The 2nd UserForm, ProgBar, conatains this code:

Private Sub UserForm_Activate()
* * Call Prc
* * Unload Me
End Sub

Stepping thru the logic, it works fine; Form 1 disappears before Form 2
appears.
Running full-bore, Form 1 remains visible behind Form 2 the entire time the
program runs. Since screen updating is off at this time, the processing is
not seen behind Form 1, which is correct.

I have tried moving the 'ScreenUpdating = False' statement further on in the
code but to no avail.
Is there, perhaps, a UserForm property or some Excel setting that would
cause this?
