I have am self taught and I have been using Excel for about two years
now. I'm working my way into macros and control buttons (trying to
create forms). I set up a simple contact form using a tutorial that
it turns out was incomplete (it only contained lessons 1-3 out of 5).
It did not explain how I could open this form inside a worksheet. Can
someone please offer me some help. I created the form in Excel using
the Tools/Macro/VBE followed by Insert/Userform. It contains several
labels, text fields and two command buttons"
Any advice on how open this as a useable form and on where I can find
some relevant tutorials would also be appreciated.
Thanks,
Pete

Pete,

You need to create a macro to call the form (Userform1.Show). The macro can
be invoked several ways, a worksheet button, a toolbar button, or a menu.

Bob,
Thanks for your help. I put a cmd button on Sheet1 and whalah! Of
course the lesson also fell short of metioning how to get the contact
info I'm able to type into the form to appear on a worksheet, but I can
now make it appear and go away. Any further suggestions on how to get
the info from the form to a spreadsheet?

Tom,
Thanks for the links. The 2nd link (XL2000) had just what I needed to
get my little "Contact List" form to work. I used the code that was
there by changing and adding the names for my links and it did just what
it was supposed to. Very cool. I'm very appreciative.

Best Wishes,
Pete Woodhead
