Solved: Form Can't Control Itself

[MWE]

This is not the form from hell, but it is its sibling

I am running Word2000. I have a very simple form and want to position it at a certain screen location. If the positioning statements are in the calling applicaion, e.g., ufrmPerComplete.Left = 100
ufrmPerComplete.Top = 500
ufrmPerComplete.Show vbModeless the form is position where I want.

But if the positioning statements are in the form's code module, e.g., Option Explicit
Private Sub UserForm_Activate()

Me.Top = 500
Me.Left = 100

End Sub the form is positioned at ( 0 , 0 )

If I remove the "vbmodeless", then the positioning in the form's code module works. Why does vbmodeless (which I use so the form will stay on the screen while the appl does other things) cause the above "problem?

Thanks

Put the code in the Initialize event.


Option Explicit

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()

Me.Top = 500
Me.Left = 100

End Sub
