form
Hello,
I created a form that has some buttons. When pressed some code excecutes and creates an excel spreadsheet. However I cannot access/modify the sheet unless I close the form window. Is there any way to keep the from visible/accessible while working with the spreadsheet? Thanks |

The show method has one optional argument which specifies if the form is
modal or not. Set it to false... UserForm1.Show False -- HTH... Jim Thomlinson "David" wrote: Hello, I created a form that has some buttons.

How do you bring up your form? At some point you have to load the form. It is
at this point that you want to specify it as non-modal. Forms are either modal (have exclusive focus) or non-modal. The code that I posted makes the form non-modal so that you can select outside of the form. -- HTH... Jim Thomlinson "David" wrote: Thanks for the reply, Where do I insert this command?

form
I am new to VB so please bear with me,
I started Excel, Alt F11, created a form with command buttons. When I click "run" and select "run sub/userForm(F5), the form appears in run mode in the middle of excel spreadsheet. I click one of the command buttons in which I have all my code. After the code finishes excecution, the form is in the middle of spreadsheet 1(which is created by running code from the command button). I can move the from but I cannot do anything in excel unless I click (X button) to close the form. I first inserted you code "UserForm1.Show False" in the command button code then I inseted it in "UserForm_Click()" I got errors both times.

Now I see what you are up to. The form that you created has a modal property.
In the VBE click on View - Properties to bring up the properties window if it is not already displayed. Select the form and Scroll down the list to a property called ShowModal. Change it from True to False. Now run the form... -- HTH... Jim Thomlinson "David" wrote: I am new to VB so please bear with me, I started Excel, Alt F11, created a form with command buttons.
