userforms showing and hiding

I have two userforms in my program. I set it up so that clicking on a command button on userform1 hides userform1 and shows userform2. Userform2 is set up in the same way such that clicking on a commandbutton will hide userform2 and show userform1.

the problem is that the userforms are not the same size. Userform2 is wide and short while userform1 is tall and skinny. And when I hide a userform and show the other userform (via the command buttons) you can still see the hidden userform behind the userform being shown. In other words the userforms are not really being hidden. I've set application.screenupdating to true thinking that might be the problem but it isn't.

Here is the code in userform1:

And the code in userform2:

It worked ok for me, but I don't have any other controls or code to consider.
Are you updating a control on one of the forms or doing something that may
be keeping the form active? Try putting "DoEvents" in the button click
events.

Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
UserForm1.Hide
UserForm2.Show
DoEvents
End Sub

"DoEvents" worked perfectly. Thank you.

Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
UserForm1.Hide
UserForm2.Show
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
UserForm2.Hide
UserForm1.Show
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
