Hi,

I have 2 forms on the first form is a button which saves the current work
book, unloads the form and then opens the second form. The problem is when I
click the first button the form does not shut and the second one opens over
the top and when you click the button on the second form to shut it the whole
thing crash's can someone help, here is code I am using

Button One

Private Sub Finnish_Click()
ActiveWorkbook.Save
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="C:\Questionaire.xls"
Unload Me
UserForm3.Show
End Sub

Button Two

Private Sub UserForm_Click()

Unload Me
End Sub


Thanks

Hide the userform before opening the 2nd userform. You don't need the unload.

I thought this would work

Private Sub Finnish_Click()
ActiveWorkbook.Save
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="C:\Questionaire.xls"
Userform2.Hide
UserForm3.Show
End Sub

Button Two

Private Sub UserForm_Click()

msgbox("Put some code here to stop userform three from immediately shutting
down")
Userform3.Unload
End Sub

Create a new sub in a standard module that shows the second form:

Sub OpenSecondForm()
UserForm3.Show
End Sub

Back in Sub Finnish_Click replace:

UserForm3.Show

with

Application.OnTime Now, "OpenSecondForm"

Well, the problem is that when you unload a userform in a sub it doesn't
really unload until that sub is done running. And since that sub opened
another userform that sub is not done until the second form is closed. It
can get messy. Using OnTime breaks the connection because it allows the sub
with the unload to complete before the code that opens the second form is
run.
