Here's a little something that's been locking up my machine.

I have a spreadsheet that, when launched, automatically shows a
userform. I use the Workbook_Open event to show the userform. As a
standalone, this spreadsheet works fine. Now, when I hyperlink to
this spreadsheet inside a Word document and then click this hyperlink,
Word goes into "la-la" land (i.e., perpetual hourglass).

This is my Workbook_Open

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
UserForm1.Show
End Sub

My guess is the when opened via hyperlink, that there is some
confusion as to where userform1 is. But that is my guess.


Suggestions?

Hi Russ,

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
UserForm1.Show
End Sub

My guess is the when opened via hyperlink, that there is some
confusion as to where userform1 is. But that is my guess.

Suggestions?

Avoid the showing of the form like this:

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
If not Me.IsInPlace Then
UserForm1.Show
End If
End Sub
