Slim Slender formulated on Tuesday :
Thanks guys. Both of those work. But, just one problem.
Be careful what you ask for. It appears that I'll never be
able to do anything with such a file other than use the
data form. I can't get to the sheet or the VBE because
the file closes as soon as the form is dismissed.
Someone at work suggested this to protect a worksheet
form nin-compoops but this ain't the way.

Can you possibly hide the sheet and use the data form while some other
sheet is active?
