Ok, I have a macro with a userform in it called MainForm.
When I try to run the command MainForm.Show VbModal I get
an error. It tells me that the method is not recognized
(and it highlights VbModal). When I change the command to
MainForm.Show 1 (which is the same as the previous
command) I get an error saying that there are the wrong
number of arguments.

Also, I only get this error on machines running Windows
98. I registered the appropriate DLLs and I have done
everything else I can think of to fix this. Can someone
please tell me why this is happening and how to fix it?

Thanks!

Excel 97 didn't have any arguments to the Show command I don't believe (at
least it didn't support modeless userforms, so no reason to have an
argument). Are these machines running xl97?

Tom,
Ah, it appears that they are using XL97. I can just write
a bit of code to check the version before it calls the
show event. Thank you for helping out with this one!

Hi Jenny;
With xl97, you can use:
Private Declare Function FindWindow Lib "user32" Alias "FindWindowA" _
(ByVal lpClassName As String, ByVal lpWindowName As String) As Long
Private Declare Function EnableWindow Lib "user32" _
(ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal fEnable As Long) As Long

Private Sub UserForm_Activate()
EnableWindow FindWindow(vbNullString, Application.Caption), 1
End Sub
