help! user form issues; can't find subroutines; appearance issue
I am writing a simple front-end for a sql server database out of Excel. I
have done something similar out of Access, but I am constrained to Excel this time around and the slight differences between the two in approach is causing me problem. Two problems: I have built a user form which alllows the user to select a report (the name of a sql stored procedure) that he wants to run. I have written a generic vba subroutine to run the user-selected procedure named, oh so cleverly, runselectedprocedure. The call runselectedprocedure line coded in the double-click event of a list box bombs, saying it can't find the subroutine (sub or fuction not defined). Where do I put the code for the subroutine ( I don't want to put it on the form, because I will be having multiple forms needing to access the same subroutine) I have tried putting the subroutine both under "sheet1" and "thisworkbook" sections under the VBA Project Explorer. I have tried Public Sub and Private Sub --neither works. Second, I open the user form with a .show command under the workbook_open event. It doesn't look like I want it to. For instance, I have tried both a docmd.maximize and docmd.minimize line under the userform_open event. The form looks the same regardless of whether it is minimized or maximized. Takes up most of the screen but not all. Any suggestions? I would appreciate any help anyone can give. |

put it in a general module
In the vbe, do Insert=Module See Stephen Bullens site and down load formfun.zip and oncompress it to see how you can manipulate a userform. http://www.oaltd.co.uk/MVP/Default.htm -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "in-over-his-head-bill" wrote: I am writing a simple front-end for a sql server database out of Excel.

You may need to reference the subroutine in this way:
Call Module1.runselectedprocedure (as long as you put it in Module1) Do not set it up as a private sub or this probably won't work.

Thanks -- as long as I make them public routines, it works just fine.
