Auto Open

[Discovery]

Is it possible to have an auto open for a user form? I want my user form to open when I open my workbook, without the worksheets showing. Is that possible?

Thanks,
Discovery

I think the only way is to make particular workbook hidden (Window - Hide) and insert into the module code similar to this:


Sub auto_open()
UserForm1.Show (1)
End Sub

Save it then and it should work.

In your workbook autoopen (or open event), show your userform.

AFAIAA there has to be at least one sheet open and visible.

Be sure to reset the Visible property of the Application object to True when
you dismiss the UserForm.

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
ActiveWindow.Visible = False
Userform1.Show
Windows(ThisWorkbook.Name).Visible = True
End Sub

'This is workbook event code.
'To input this code, right click on the Excel icon on the worksheet
'(or next to the File menu if you maximise your workbooks),
'select View Code from the menu, and paste the code

The workbook will flash briefly though.

Thank you for all your help everyone.

Bob Phillips, your code worked the first time, but when I opened it up the second time, it said, "Run-time error '91': Object variable or With block variable not set" - any ideas what's happened?

Thanks,
Discovery
