Forms & Excel
Hi all
I have seen some folk posting questions relating to "Form(s)".. Just need a point of clarification outlining if the term "Form(s)" is similar to those used in MSAccess, or is it a term used purely to identify a Worksheet that someone structured to emulate / look like it which contains Navigational Macro Buttons. I can find no reference to "Forms" and or creating them in the help file (Using XL2007 BTW). The only reason I am asking is that I noticed this peice of code in this NG: SUB ShowTheForm() userform1.Show END SUB Is this feature something that is only included in 2010 as it would be so handy rather than having to manually size and spacing everything.... Look forward to your comments. TIA Mick. |

Not sure i understand the question correctly but similarly to Access
you can also create a userform in Excel. You do that in VBE by: InsertUserform. On Mar 17, 12:53*pm, "Vacuum Sealed" wrote: Hi all I have seen some folk posting questions relating to "Form(s)"..

UserForms are created using VBA
Have a look at Debra Dalgleish's site for how to create a UserForm. http://www.contextures.on.ca/xlUserForm01.html Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Thu, 17 Mar 2011 23:53:59 +1100, "Vacuum Sealed" wrote: Hi all I have seen some folk posting questions relating to "Form(s)"..

Forms & Excel
Guy's
Can I call upon your expertise again please.... Essentially, I am using the UserForm purely as a navigation point for everyone to go to rather than have to go to numerous file locations, so essentially the Form is populated with a TabControl with multiple Tabs assigned to each department for ease of access to their respective files... Now this is where I'm not sure if I have set it up correctly, using the Workbooks On_Open() Event it shows the Modul Form quiet well, and I can move the focus away from it to the active sheet that I choose via any of the created CmdBtn's, but being that I have the Form attached to the On_Open() Event, once it is hidden, how can I set the focus back on it. I inserted a CmdBtn on one of the files which I navigated to with the following: Sub Menu_Show() Workbooks("PFMenu.xls").Activate Sheets("Menu").Activate UserForm1.Show End Sub but It got hung up on the Userform1.Show I have had many years working with Access Forms and setting focus between active and hiding, Pop_Up & Modul Forms although this is way new for me, with this in mind, what is the best way to approach the following please: 1. Rather than have the Workbook which houses the UserForm open in FullScreen, can it open just to the dimensions of the Modul window with no Ribbon or any other telltale overhead controls, essentially just leaving the Form in full view and nothing else. 2. Keep the UserForm active yet hidden so it can be called upon whenever a user(s) need to navigate to another file. 3. How well will this work with multiple users accessing it at one time. Look forward to some interesting & positive suggestions. TIA Mick |

Sorry, you lost me half-way through.
For my 0.02 of worth - some considerations: - to re-activate the form you'll need to call a code somehow - being that a menubar or ribbon item, so extra coding required - if this is supposed to be a purely navigation utility i'd consider having a worksheet with hyperlinks in it and the files would be accessed via the hyperlinks in the tab as oppose to the tabcontrol on a userform.
