Basic UserForm question - please help
Please help if you can. In my Excel macro, Sheet 1 determines if value 1 is greater than value 2 and if so, calls UserForm1. UserForm1 is a simple form, with some text and an OK button. Clicking the OK button closes the UserForm. So far, so good. When UserForm1 opens up, I need it to stay on the screen until a user clicks the OK button. While it is up, I need the rest of the macro to function. If I highlight UserForm1 and view code, I get my code:
Private Sub UserForm1_Activate() MsgBox "This is a test - hello" 'Place code here that or call another sub rotine from here End Sub Problem is, this refuses to show me the message box. What I am doing wrong? Why won't the UserForm1_Activate() work? Doug |

Basic UserForm question - please help
Doug,
DoEvents is your keyword here. Keep in mind that it's not really running in parallel. Private blnExitSignal As Boolean Private i As Long Private Sub UserForm_Activate() blnExitSignal = False i = 0 Do Until blnExitSignal i = i + 1 DoEvents Loop End Sub Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() blnExitSignal = True MsgBox i Me.Hide End Sub Rob "Doug" wrote in message ...

Basic UserForm question - please help
Any code I attach to a userform would be what to do if the
userform is exited eg. decrease the no. of invoices, receipts etc. issued. My experiences have indicated that processing is suspended untill a response is received from a user. if the user clicks OK the processing of coding attached will occur. if you have used "Application.ScreenUpdating = False" as a first line in your coding your userform will stay put untill all the code has been processed. at the end of the coding you could open the form again and "Application.Screenupdating = True". I hope this assists you -----Original Message----- Please help if you can. In my Excel macro, Sheet 1 determines if value 1 is greater than value 2 and if so, calls UserForm1.

Not sure what you mean by wanting the form to stay up
while th e rest of the code runs... I'll take a guess that your procedure is ....code1 userform1.Show ....code2 and you want code2 to run while the form is displayed. This is a function of the MODAL state. By default, the userform.Show method is modal This means that code execution waits for the form to close before continuing with code2. Force the form to open in modeless state then code will continue event while the form is showing ....code1 userform1.Show vbModeless ....code2 Patrick Molloy Microsoft Excel MVP -----Original Message----- Please help if you can.
