Hi

I have just upgraded to excel 2016 and Im having problems opening another workbook from a userform and making it the active one.
It opens it ok, but you cant type anything unless you change to another sheet first then back again, it seems to still be active on the original workbook.

Code works fine on Excel 2010

This is what I have been using.

Code:
Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
'Sickness Back To Work Interview


'unload form and remove shape
    Unload Me
        ActiveSheet.Shapes("Rectangle 3").Visible = False
            Range("AC3").Select


'File Location
        fname = "Back to work interview.xlsm"
        fpath = "U:\Team Leader Dashboard\Miscellaneous\" & fname




    On Error Resume Next      ' drive or file may not be available.  If so error msg
          Set wb = Workbooks.Open(fpath)
          If wb Is Nothing Then
            MsgBox "File is Not Accessible"
            GoTo handle


          wb.Activate


        End
    End If
handle:
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

How to create a cell-sized chart?
Tiny charts, called Sparklines, were added to Excel 2010. Look for Sparklines on the Insert tab.
Seems to be not working only if i try to open a workbook from a userform if that makes any difference?
