Screen Not Refreshing While Modal UserForm Open
Mar 20, 2008
I'm launching a main form from a menu I've added. I want to make the form modal. From that form, the user can launch several other forms (that I also want to be modal). If any of the forms are modal, then the Excel sheet that is visible in the background does not refresh. If the form is moved at all it creates a dragging pattern on the screen and hides the spreadsheet. That's not so bad, except when I get to either a second or third level form and start closing them. They're still visible even though the previous level form is now on top. Most of the forms get bigger the deeper you go into the data entry process. So, as you close them and move back up the chain, it gets very confusing. If I simply make the forms modeless, it refreshes fine. I've tried using Application. ScreenUpdating = True and Me.Repaint with no success. I couldn't figure out where to put the Me.Repaint since there isn't a UserForm_Move event.

I am wondering if one can force a Modal UserForm to become Modeless after loading the UserForm.
Load the Userform as Modal => Click on a CommandButton on the Userform => The Userform now becomes Modeless.

Is there any way to tell a userform to always open in the center of the excel screen? It always seems to open somewhere in outer space on multiple screen setups.

I've developed a complex dictator application, which pretty much takes over the entire Application object. During beta testing, I've had some user complaints that, once my program is started, they can't access their existing workbooks.
In order to remedy this situation, I'm trying to construct a front-loader workbook, which will automatically determine whether or not to start a new instance (application) of Excel. If the user already has a workbook open (i.e. "MiscBook.xls"), the front-loader will start a new application; otherwise, it will just use the existing application.
My "Auto_Open" code for the front-loader workbook is shown below:
Sub Auto_Open()
Dim xlApp As Excel.Application
Dim wbkTemp As Workbook, wbkApp As Workbook
Dim lCount As Long
Dim vTemp As Variant
The code works fine, but I have a minor gripe: every time a new application is created ("Else" in the "If-Else" above), the screen doesn't appear to refresh. In other words, I get a new window (instance of Excel), but none of my custom-defined buttons and menus show up. If I hover my mouse over their intended locations, they "appear" one at a time.
I'm just wondering - is there something I can do to prevent this behavior, or "refresh" the new application window upon startup? I'm essentially looking for something like "Userform.Repaint", only for a brand-new Excel Application object.

How can I make excel go to full screen (Alt-W-E) as soon as a workbook is opened and then revert back to normal view when it is closed? I already have this code in my workbook_open event just in case that will affect the answer:
HTML Code:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
If Not LockSheet(ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet) Then Exit Sub
[Code].....

I have a userform that opens a woorkbook and fills some textbox from that woorkbook. Although that it goes very fast it is still visible (sometime just in the toolbar) and flickers the screen. Is it possible to open it "hidden"?
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
On Error Resume Next
Workbooks("Kontrollsystemet.xls").Close SaveChanges:=False
Workbooks.Open "V:allaBeredningKontrollsystemetKontrollsystemet.xls", ReadOnly:=True
Sheets("Calc").Activate
Label4 = Range("K7")
Label5 = Range("L7")
Workbooks("Kontrollsystemet.xls").Close SaveChanges:=False
Caption = Now
TextBox1.SetFocus
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

I have a workbook that has worksheets that serve as data input pages for the user.
I have control boxes created by the forms toolbar.
I created a splash screen that is to be launched when the file is opened.
Instead, often the last sheet that the user was on when they last saved the file (usually but not always the worksheet called "Main Menu") is seen first.
I understand that not all the sheets can be hidden - that one must be unhidden.
So I created a sheet called "Background" that is a solid color with no gridelines.
Objective:
When the file is opened, I want the "Background" sheet to be seen first and then the splash screen to be initiated.
Now - when the user opens the file, the Main Menu worksheet is seen for a few seconds (or whatever the last sheet was on before it was last saved), then it disappears and the solid background screen is shown with the splash screen. When the splash screen ends, the "Background" sheet disappears.
Here is the code that I have in the workbook
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Dim wks As Worksheet
On Error Resume Next
For Each wks In ThisWorkbook
If wks.Name "Background" Then
wks.Visible = False
End If
Next wks
End Sub
What has to be changed so that the first sheet that is seen upon opening the file is the "Background"; then the splash screen happens; then it returns to the Main Menu sheet?

stretch" the userform to fit the height and width fo the screen. I dont want to simply change the height and width of the userform, i want the controls within the userform to stretch with the userform so that it looks the same, just fullscreen. this is what ive found by googling:
VB:
With Application
.WindowState = xlMaximized
Zoom = Int(.Width / Me.Width * 100)
Width = .Width
Height = .Height
End With
however, this just stretches it to match the width of my screen, but doestn consider the height, so that if i have a widescreen vs a square screen it will cut off the bottom of my userform. It would be great if there was a zoom type featur that zooms the vertical and horizontal dimensions seperately... more like a stretch than a zoom.

I have a UserForm that I want to use as a Password screen
The form has a label, CommandButton and TextBox.
When I run the UserForm, IF you click OK without entering the Password, you still gain access to the Workbook!
IF you type in the wrong Password you still gain access to the Workbook and NO "Invalid password!" message pops up.
What I would like to happen IF the CommandButton is clicked without entering the Password, is for the Workbook to close, and IF the Password is correct, I want to load Useform2
I am using the following code provided by rorya, that I got from here.....
http://www.mrexcel.com/forum/showthr...light=password
[CODE]
Option Explicit
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Me.Hide
End Sub
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Me.TextBox1.PasswordChar = "*"
End Sub
Private Sub UserForm_QueryClose(Cancel As Integer, CloseMode As Integer)
Me.Hide
End Sub
Sub Mycode()
Dim frm As UserForm3
Set frm = New UserForm3
frm.Show
If frm.TextBox1.Text = "Password" Then
' run your code
Else
MsgBox "Invalid password!"
End If
Unload frm
End Sub

I'm having trouble centering my UserForms on the screen. I have tried all the options on the StartUpPosition in the Properties windows and the closest I can get is vertically centered but on the far left. The annoying thing is that it was working (both vertically and horizontally centered) but when I changed the defaults of the option buttons they moved to the position I described. I have two monitors (but excel is maximised on one monitor only) could this have something to do with my problem? If so why did it work before?

I currently have a VB macro written where under certain conditions user forms are shown for the user to select options, display messages, etc. When any of these forms are on the screen, and someone drags them, the menu image is 'dragged' across the screen. Is there a way from preventing this from happening?

Some time ago (not sure how long ago) I created a splash screen that comes up when I first load a particular workbook. There was only one worksheet in the workbook and at that time the data in the worksheet was not so relevant and hardly ever used. That workbook name is "Employees" and the worksheet name is "EmpData".
Subsequently, the worksheet ("EmpData") in the workbook "Employees" has became relevant to a new workbook named "Payroll" I created. This workbook is used all the time. It had four different active worksheets.
I realized last week that the data in "EmpData" was very relevant to the work in the "Payroll" workbook so I copied "EmpData" worksheet in it's entirety to the "Payroll" workbook as a fifth worksheet using the same name as before, "EmpData". Now each time I open the "payroll" workbook the splash screen shows up and hangs around for several seconds or longer. It has become quite irritating and I want to delete it.

I've got a userform with a cancel button that has the following
Private Sub cancelButton_Click()
Unload Me
Sheets("Front").Activate
mainForm.Show
End Sub
The mainForm has a button to return to the first userform:
Private Sub figuresButton_Click()
Unload Me
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
Sheets("Data").Activate
For Each numb In Sheets("Data"). Range("C6:F9")
numb.Value = ""
Next numb
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
controlForm.Show
ActiveSheet.Range("C6").Activate
AppActivate Application.Caption
End Sub
This all works fine. I wanted the x button on the first form to perform the same action, so wrote:
Private Sub UserForm_QueryClose(Cancel As Integer, CloseMode As Integer)
If CloseMode = vbFormControlMenu Then
cancelButton_Click
End If
End Sub
This moves to the other form fine; however, on clicking on the button on the mainForm, although the "Data" sheet is activated, the first userform fails to reappear (or in fact flicks briefly in and out of view).

I'm getting an "Error 400 - Form already displayed; can't show modally" error from a UserForm project I've been making. It's attached below. How it *should* work:Use the button "ENTER NEW DATA" to open the UserForm. Submitting the Form should insert the data into a new row below the already filled ones. (the range of Form data starts at row 7)Click on a Non-Empty, Protected cell of Form data, and the UserForm should open, containing the data of that row within its corresponding fields. Submitting the Form should modify only that very row from which it was sourced.When you close the workbook (OzgridMST1.xls), the Form data should be copied into another workbook (on Sheet1) on the same level as OzgridMST1. (I couldn't include it in the . ZIP file since it would have been too massive... Just create a new workbook called FormDBTrial1.xls on the same level.)
Problem(s):When i fill-in and Submit the UserForm for a second time (by either the button or a Non-empty cell), the Error 400 appears and traces back to [UserForm].Show in the Sheet code. I've double-checked my code and can't see what the problem is.When i Submit the Form through the Non-empty cell, it submits into a NEW row, and not the same one! My code used to work, I've tested it many many times. I've triple-checked my code, can't figure.Finally, when I close the Workbook, an Error comes up saying it can't find FormDBTrial.xls, even when it plainly does exist on the same level, same folder, etc.
Everything worked fine until I added the "Copy To Another Workbook" functionality. Been over it and the forum so many times my head is spinning...

What I would like to do is to be able to open a second workbook from a user form, preform some work on it then save and come back to the same place in the original user form.
So in steps:
1 : user clicks command button to open user form
2: user then clicks on command button on userform that opens 2nd workbook via a yes / no message box, but closes userform on 1st workbook (would be ideal if this could stay open, but hidden)
3: user then does work on 2nd workbook,
4: userform on 2nd workbook saves then activates the 1st workbook and reopens the userform
This is where no matter what I try I cant get the command button on the 1st userform to be clicked automatically so the yes / no message box appears.
This is part of the code in the 2nd sheet commandbutton that saves / closes / opens
Code:
Unload Me
ActiveWorkbook.save
Windows("ABC.xlsm").Activate
Sheets("Request Sheet").Activate
Call Sheets("Request Sheet").ForceClickOnBouttonXYZ
Call UserForm1.CommandButton6_Click 'this is where I cant get it to work!!
Windows("xyz.xlsm").Close
ABC is the 1st workbook
xyz is the 2nd workbook
This is the code on the 1st workbook I use to call on the 2nd workbook
Code:
Public Sub ForceClickOnBouttonXYZ() Call CommandButton1_Click End Sub

Is there a way to get MODE() to return these results? Or is there another

I have a Sub() in a module that sends an email to address that it retrieves from a spreadsheet.
See portion of code below
HTML Code:
Do
vaRecipient = Application.InputBox( _
Prompt:="Please add the name of the recipient such as:" & vbCrLf _
& "excel@microsoft.com or just the Staff ID.", _
Title:="Recepient", Default:=Range("I" & vaRow).Value)
Loop While vaRecipient = ""
[Code] .......
This is basically showing 3 popup boxes one after the other to verify each address,
Is it possible to either have it show an input box with 3 fields or ( what I'm currently trying) is to show a Userform . I have tried Userform12.show but it isnt working.
