Maybe you can hide all of excel???

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Application.Visible = False
UserForm1.Show
Application.Visible = True
End Sub

But seeing that userform floating over a different application might be more
disconcerting.

I'm creating a user guide ( of sorts) and I want nothing but the

This is what I have so far....

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Application.WindowState = xlMinimized
UserForm1.Show
End Sub

Both won't work at the same time, is there away around this?
