    Maximize Userform on Workbook Active

    Hi Guys,

    I have a UserForm that automatically displays when a Workbook opens; the userform allows the user to create 2 new workbooks from the data they have entered. Unfortunately, the user can't select the new workbooks without closing the Userform. For this reason, I have added a minimize button to the userform:

    However, when the user reselects the workbook the userform doesn't show again and they are able to see the sheets behind it. Would it be possible to redisplay the userform if the workbook becomes active again. I have tried this code but it doesnt seem to work:

    It doesn't appear to work. My main goal is to prevent the user from seeing the worksheets behind the userform (mainly for security reasons so they don't screw anything up). Should I add this code to a separate module or just to the "This Workbook" object.

    I have both codes now:
    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    and
    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    which works great if there is another workbook open. Unfortunately, it doesn't work if its the only Workbook open. I'm using this code to minimize the application and the userform:

    I would like the userform to be displayed if the user selects the workbook again. Hope that makes sense!!

    Is there a way to ensure the userform displays if the workbook is maximized? If not I may need to add a workaround.
