    Red face How to work on other excel files while running a macro?

    Hi All,

    I am very new to excel and also this forum. Actually I have designed a macro which consists of a form through it takes the input into excel sheet. The macro is running fine and I dont have any problems with it.

    The problem I am facing is that after I start running this macro, I am not able to access any other open excel files.

    Is there any option to make all other excel files available during running a macro?

    Thank you all in advance..

    Regards,

    Are you using a userform? If so you can set the ShowModal property to False
    Hope that helps.

    You can not run macro code AND use excel at the same time.

    If you meant you have a userform displayed and want to access the worksheet then try showing the userform Modeless.
