Forms disappearing
I have a xla that produces a menu in excel. When the user selects an option
from the menu, it opens another xla and shows a form. Currently the form is displayed but then closes straight away. As anyone seen this issue before. (Windows XP, and Office 2003). Cheers -- Paicey |

an xla is an add-in. Put the form into your Personal.xls or just convert it
to xls. Code it to be opened as ReadOnly. "Paicey" wrote: I have a xla that produces a menu in excel. When the user selects an option from the menu, it opens another xla and shows a form.

Using the two add-ins worked fine until I upgraded to Office 2003.
I use the add-in's as I don't want the users to know that a different document has been opened. -- Paicey "exceluserforeman" wrote: an xla is an add-in.

I really do not know and am only guessing but did you start excel from
excel.exe ? If your shortcuts do not point to Excel.exe then the current directory/folder will not be the file you opened. Best to open your first file from within Excel ... File Open method. Also see if the add-in is check marked. also, I think Office 2003 will only accept digitally signed add-ins. This just means you have to fill in the properties of the addin. - -Mark "Paicey" wrote: Using the two add-ins worked fine until I upgraded to Office 2003.
