hi all,
using windows xl, xl2003
I am developing a reminder form with a list box control where the users can
add up to ten reminders. the reminder form and code resides in the
personal.xls located in the xlstart folder. the reminders are place in range
a2:d12 of the personal.xls with a add reminder macro assigned to a custom
menu item.
index date made remind date reminder
1 07/07/07 08/08/07 doctor's appointment with Dr. Smith
a workbook open macro located in the personal.xls checks to see if the user
has added any reminders and if so, loads the reminder form. if not, the
reminder form does not load.
development is complete. time to go live.
Problem. the list box will not populate if the personal.xls is hidden. it
will populate if the personal.xls is not hidden.
queston. does anyone know how to populate a list box from a hidden file.

thanks for your time
