Non-Modal InputBox?
I am having a small problem,
I have a inputbox which is set to Type 8 (Returns a Range type) and th selection will be set to a listbox rowSource. My problem is that the user needs to be able to select the Range fro any of the Open Workbooks and apparently I can't choose any other boo than the one I am running the Macro from, which I believe it has to d with the InputBox being Modal. Is there anyway to make the inputBox Non-Modal, or a way around it? Best Regards Noo -- Message posted from http://www.ExcelForum.com |

You should be able to select from any open workbook using the inputbox. On
way is to go to the Window menu and select the workbook from there. If your workbooks are not maximized, then you should be able to navigate to them directly using the mouse. Works fine for me. Sub BBBB() Dim rng As Range On Error Resume Next Set rng = Application.InputBox("select range", Type:=8) Debug.Print rng.Address(external:=True) On Error GoTo 0 End Sub -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "NooK " wrote in message ...

OK Using the windows menu did work (Thanks for that) but I cannot choos
a workbook by clicking on the minimized icon on the task bar. I click on it, it chooses it but the background workbook is still th first one. Best Regards Noo -- Message posted from http://www.ExcelForum.com |

Well no, but you can't use that approach manually in the same/similar
circumstances. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "NooK " wrote in message ...
