Please email me with the response to Thanks in Advance! |

Ariel,
It works if you make the userform modeless. Unfortunately, Excel hangs when you mix RefEdit with a modeless userform. I don't think there is a simple way. Rob "Ariel" wrote in message ...

Thanks Rob. Should I even bother reconfiguring the userformto become Modeless? Or should I give up on the idea altogether? *** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com *** Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it! |

Maybe you can turn on screenupdating and use
dim myRng as range on error resume next set myrng = application.inputbox(Prompt:="select a range",type:=8) on error goto 0 if myrng is nothing then 'do whatever you want... else 'do whatever you want here, too... end if Ariel Linden wrote: Thanks Rob.

Dave, the inputbox is a good idea, but it is a stand-alone application. I need something that will work from within a userform. Any ideas? *** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com *** Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it! |

Put a button on the form that says: Select The Range
have the button hide the userform and popup the inputbox???? then unhide the userform when the user is done.

Ariel,
Install the XL2000 hotfix from the following MSKB article. Contrary to what the article says, service packs do not fix the issue. This also applies to XL2002. http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=291110 XL2000: Cannot Use Keyboard Shortcuts to Select Ranges in RefEdit Control Regards, Jim Cone San Francisco, CA "Ariel" wrote in message ...

Hi Jim, Thanks for steering me to those updates. Do I need to install all three service packs to get this thing fixed? Ariel *** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com *** Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it! |

Ariel,
Generally speaking, you should always install the MS office service packs. However, the issue with the RefEdit control is not fixed in XL2000 by installing the service packs (according to correspondence I have received). Also, in my case, the RefEdit issue was not fixed in XL2002 by installing the service packs (even though it is included in the list of fixes for XL2002). The mskb article tells you about a registry edit to cure the problem. Review that again and follow the directions or get someone else who is familiar with editing the registry to do it for you. (However, I would install the service packs first.) Regards, Jim Cone San Francisco, CA "Ariel Linden" wrote in message ... Hi Jim, Thanks for steering me to those updates.
