Default Why is Excel so bad at dealing with user forms ? isn't this a major unresolved flaw ?

I am absolutely disgusted by the fact that Excel cant really cope with user
forms. On the basis of advice that I have received on this news group its a
common problem for these forms to become corrupted !! HOW LONG HAS THIS BEEN
GOING ON FOR ?

This issue has basically shot down a project that I have spent a great deal
of time on....at the moment I am feeling totally gutted. We all know that
Open Office is full of bugs and flaws but in my opinion after discovering
this little horror MS Excel can hardly be seen to be much more reliable.

I'm hoping that this is my problem but somehow I don't think that it is. And
my forms are not that large...they are only 3k.

grrrr I'll get over it ....tommorow is another day.

What is the exact problem?
I have a very large project with many userforms, one of them very big. No
problem at all.

Code cleaner looks excellent I'll try it. basically fromname.show does not
work and the form cant be loaded though it opens on the forms own initialize
event. Richard

It sounds like there either is a bug in your code or the project is
corrupted and then most likely the code cleaner
will fix it.
