@Doug -- I had looked at Chip's also and that will position the UF based on a cell, which wouldn't work to have something that would look like a task pane
@snb -- you're right about many of the display-oriented properies not being helpful. I'm reluctant to hard code fudge factors (0.11, 0.97, etc.) since on a different machine, the UF could be only partially displayed, or might cover up something else
Back to the drawing board.
I might have to go with a 'Wizard' tab on the ribbon which would not be as user friendly as the modeless userform approach, but might be the most flexible way
