Form not hiding
Hello - Hope someone can help - this is driving me mad. Ive looked at the other threads relating to this but the advice hasnt seemed to work for me. I have a userform that has a button. When the button is pushed the first userform should close and and a second should open. This works except the first userform stays visible in the background. Ive tried using DoEvents and unloading but this hasnt worked for me. Ive tried the following codes: Sub B() form2.Show form1.Hide DoEvents End Sub Sub A() form1.Hide form2.Show DoEvents End Sub Thanks -- LB79 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ LB79's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=12156 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=396483 |

Shouldn't B be:
Sub B() form1.Hide form2.Show DoEvents End Sub Try changing the doEvents to: msgbox "hi" And you'll see when it gets executed (in the original sub).

Thanks for that. I changed the DoEvents to MSGBOX "hi" and it didnt pop up until i closed the second form, which indicates that DoEvents is being ignored? How can i force DoEvents to work where i want it to? -- LB79 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ LB79's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=12156 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=396483 |

I don't think it's being ignored. I think your code is waiting for the other
userform to finish what it has to do. So you'll either have to rearrange the order of what you do (my first suggestion) or if you're running xl2k+, you can load the second form like: Sub B() form2.Show false form1.Hide DoEvents End Sub The false means that you're loading the form is modeless. The user can click on cells and continue to work. (It may not be what you want to allow.) (why not just change the order of the .hide and .show?) LB79 wrote: Thanks for that.

Im still not getting this. My code is: Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() Menu1.Hide Menu2.Show DoEvents End Sub but the Menu1 is still showing in the background. Ive tried adding in more then 1 DoEvents too but i cant seem to get it. -- LB79 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ LB79's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=12156 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=396483 |

Your code worked fine for me (as-is).
Did you try the doEvents this way? Option Explicit Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() menu1.Hide DoEvents menu2.Show DoEvents End Sub Is this all your code (or just a snippet)? If you have "application.screenupdating = false", then turn it back on after you hide the form: Option Explicit Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() Application.ScreenUpdating = False 'more code here menu1.Hide Application.ScreenUpdating = True 'application.screenupdating = false 'if you want menu2.Show DoEvents End Sub LB79 wrote: Im still not getting this.

It works for me now too (as-is). I didnt think to enable screenupdating.
