Hi,

I am using the Workbook_Open() to open a form that I've built in VBA.
The Sub is very simple:


Code:
--------------------

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
printerSettingsForm.Show
End Sub

--------------------


The only problem is when running this I get the

Run-time error '424'

Object required

And it centers on the sub. I am assuming the problem has to do with
the fact I haven't properly declared or instaniated the object/Form
printerSettingsForm.

I tried goggling, but I couldn't find the proper technique to declare
an object. So I was wondering how I could fix this problem?

Hello FCC,

Since you are opening the workbook, Excel doesn't know the user form is
an object in the workbook. Try this method...

With ThisWorkbook
Load .PrinterSettingsForm
..PrinterSetttingsForm.Show
End With

Sincerely,
Leith Ross

It's funny. I changed the name of my form to userForm and everything
worked fine after that.

It's like Excel doesn't recognize any form objects not named userForm
unless you declare them using the Load button.
