I hope this post is the last time I will trouble you with my problems.
But it's why I joined the grp really...
It may be an RTFM question. I hope not!
I HAVE searched but not in the right place.

I'm writing my first ever app with Userforms
using the 'Let's see if America exists' method that Columbus used

I discover (AFTER the code design stage!) that Userforms lock cells they are
bound to, so you can't do normal Excel things until the lock is removed.

Where is this locking documented?
- What event(s) cause the lock to be applied?
- what event(s) remove the lock?
- Are there rules of thumb for manipulating the RowSource & ControlSource
properties by code?
e.g.
Sometimes you might want to Get the property or value;
other times you might want to Set the property or value
So I'm looking for
"Do things in THIS sequence and change the properties in THESE steps"


That wd be most helpful to an aging Userforms newbie
