Timing Problem can someone help please
 

I have two templates that are communicating between each other, Value
are entered into one template while the other is closed, at the pres
of a button the other template is opened and values from the previou
template are inputted into cells on that template. That would hav
been easy enough if I wanted to stop there...but...I have a userform o
the second template, and I want textboxes on that userform to b
populated with those values that were just inputted, however, I stil
want the userform to be showing after all is said and done (the othe
template should then save and close) leaving the other active. M
first thought (errant) was that I could have the userform linked to th
Workbook_Open() but that didn't work because the userform loaded an
stopped the values from being input in the first place, then I though
(errantly again) that I would do it for a worksheet_Change() that gav
me like four bazillion times it wanted to load the userform (one fo
every value I was inputting). How could I do this so that the userfor
only loads after the values have finished inputting

Control the passing of values from you first template into the second using
code in the second template after it has opended.

So something like this

Open template1
Enter values in template1
Button Event on template1 - to open template2
Open template2
Open workbook event triggers transfer from tempate1 to template2
Close template1
Show user form

It would if you tested for the presence of the first template as part of the
conditions to run the open macro event?
