vbModeless question

[austenr]

I want to open a user form where people go to grab information. Its used occasionally throughout the day many times. The problem is I want the userform to remain active and still allow the opening of other workbooks so they are not constantly opening the workbook everytime they want to use the form. If I use

userform1.show

it of course disables the use of any other workbook until the form is closed.

I tried this to keep the form and its associated workbook open and still allow opening of other workbooks:

Call UserForm.Show(vbModeless)

in the workbook open but it throws an error. Any ideas on how to solve this is appreciated.

Userform.Show vbModeless

1. UserForm or UserForm1 ???

First example uses UserForm1, but the troublesome line uses just UserForm

Call UserForm.Show(vbModeless)

2. Both ways belowwork for me. That WB opens, UF displays, and I can open other workbooks

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
    Load UserForm1
    Call UserForm1.Show(vbModeless)
End Sub

or

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
    Load UserForm1
    UserForm1.Show vbModeless
End Sub
