Default Does Userform exist?

Thanks for your advice Chip.

Hi Chip

Thanks for the reply, the macro needs to be run against
different (new)
workbooks every time so there is not one workbook that the
users will always
use. However, I take your point that importing modules into
people's
personal.xls workbooks is bad program design. Would I
therefore be better to
have a workbook with the sole purpose of containing common
macros that opens
on startup?

Thanks
Andy

a userform exists. Why are you assuming that the form should
be
in the user's personal.xls workbook? This is bad program
design.
Personal.xls is, by definition, where users put the own
personal
code. Why don't you put the form in your workbook, so you can
be
assured that it exists.

Hi All

I have a macro that makes use of a UserForm for gathering
data
from the
user. While the userform should always exist on the users'
machines this
might not always be the case. Is anybody aware of a way of
checking to see
if a UserForm exists in the Personal.xls workbook so I can
handle such
instances? If it doesn't then there is obviously a compile
error so I have
had a look at the #const and #if... directives but can't
figure
it out.

Thanks

Andy
