    Print preview from user form opened from a user form

    Hello everyone

    I have a problem with Excel locking up when calling PrintPreview from a UserForm. The solution to this problem seems to be something along these lines:

    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    The problem is that I have two userforms open when calling PrintPreview. I tried doing this:

    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    Doing this only OtherForm is displayed. When I close OtherForm Me is showed again.

    There is another problem as well. It appears that calling Hide and then Show calls the Activate event which does a bunch of initializations that I don't want. All I really want is to HIDE them, i.e. I want the values of all the controls to be the same and for no events to be triggered.

    Solution?

    Thanks in advance

    Your post does not comply with Rule 3 of our Forum RULES. Use code tags around code. Posting code without them makes your code hard to read and difficult to be copied for testing. Highlight your code and click the # at the top of your post window. For more information about these and other tags, found here
    Hope that helps.

    Thanks

    The Activate event is triggered by the activating, so use the Initialize event instead.

    Not sure what the problem with the forms is without seeing the code so post a workbook
