Hi
when adding this code into "Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()" the button

Private Sub cmdNewEntry_Click()
UserForm1.Show
End Sub
returns with an error code "Run-time error 9" "Subscript out of range"
is the code for the button in the wrong place?

That presumably means that your worksheet is not named B, you need to change
that.

You could also change the VBE options (ToolsOptions) to break on all errors
(on the General tab, Errors frame) so you see the real error.
