Thanks for the tip - of course hiding it releases the form !
It now works great

Cheers

Nigel..

hide the original form instead of unloading it.
then your second form can access all the controls on the
first form.

'code for userform1
'this form has 2 textboxes and 1 commandbutton
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Load UserForm2
UserForm2.TextBox1 = Me.TextBox1
Me.Hide
UserForm2.Show
End Sub


'code for userform2
'this form has 1 textbox and 1 commandbutton
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
'indirect reference for "on the fly controls"
UserForm1.Controls("TextBox2") = Me.TextBox1
Unload Me
UserForm1.Show
End Sub

Using (xl97) I have a userform that opens after a user event to
display some data extracted from a worksheet. On this form is another
control button that is enabled (or not) depending on the state of the
extracted data displayed on the form.

If the control button on the first form is enabled and clicked a
second form opens allowing the user to change some data, which in turn
affects the values on the sheet being the same data used on the first
form. Closing the second form reveals the first form again but of
course the data and the state of the enabling button has not changed.

Is there anyway that the first form can dynamically change in response
to the users action on the second form?

I had thought about closing and re-opening following the second form
close event, but that seems a bit drastic and heavy handed.

TIA
