Hi,
I have an automated application that modifies a number of workbooks by
adding some forms and modules to each one, then saves and closes them.

During this process, I use Application.visible = false to hide all the
opening/closing workbooks so that the user can do other work without focus
jumping to Excel.

The problem is that for some reason, the Visual Basic window opens at some
point and never closes. This defeats the purpose of making the application
visible and I don't know why it's opening the window. It also confuses the
user running the application because she doesn't know anything about excel.

Any ideas on what command is actually making VBA visible?
Any ideas on how to make it invisible?

This one's a real bear because if I put a "Stop" or Pause in VBA, VBA
automatically becomes visible so there's no way for me to see what's tripping
the visiblity property.

Thanks,
MikeZz


Here is the basic routine that copies over the forms and modules:
Public Sub SendForms()
errMaster = "SendForms: Sending Macros"

srcWB.VBProject.VBComponents("frmNotFound").Export Filename:=sStr
destWb.VBProject.VBComponents.Import Filename:=sStr
srcWB.VBProject.VBComponents("StartupForm").Export Filename:=sStr
destWb.VBProject.VBComponents.Import Filename:=sStr
srcWB.VBProject.VBComponents("ExportCode").Export Filename:=sStr
destWb.VBProject.VBComponents.Import Filename:=sStr
Kill sStr

Dim VBProj As VBIDE.VBProject
Dim VBComp As VBIDE.VBComponent
Dim CodeMod As VBIDE.CodeModule
Dim LineNum As Long
Const DQUOTE = """" ' one " character

Set VBProj = ActiveWorkbook.VBProject
Set VBComp = VBProj.VBComponents("ThisWorkbook")
Set CodeMod = VBComp.CodeModule

With CodeMod
LineNum = .CreateEventProc("Open", "Workbook")
LineNum = LineNum + 1
.InsertLines LineNum, " ThisWorkbook.Sheets(" & DQUOTE &
"VeryHidden" & DQUOTE & ").Visible = xlVeryHidden"
LineNum = LineNum + 1
.InsertLines LineNum, " StartupForm.Show"
End With
End Sub
