Hey guys, I'm new here and have a beginners questions. I have created a userform for data entry (code below). The form takes approximately 12 seconds to transfer the data to the spreadsheet. I have tried the recommendations in the following page https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/excel-questions/496915-slow-userform.html and in http://www.cpearson.com/Excel/SuppressChangeInForms.htm. However, the code still takes the same time. Any suggestions to improve performance?

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.

cpereznj, can you please throw the code into code format?
Code:
?

Also, have you tried throwing trips in at different areas to find where the main lag is generated? Throw a msgbox("1...2...4") in at different areas to see where the gap is.

Thank you for replying so quickly Herodotus07. As mentioned in my post, I'm sort of a beginner on this matters. Not sure what you mean by posting the code in code format. Can you please tell me how do I do that?
Also, not sure how to do the msgbox to find the gaps. Can you help on this as well?

For the code formatting, add in "
Rich (BB code): 
" just before a code block, and "
" at the end of the block (lose the "). This makes is much easier to read through posts. Also, see the examples for how to add msgbox trips. The msgbox will display at each of the locations and halt the code progress. wherever the largest delay between message boxes occurs, you can assume that is where the issues are coming from and can help narrow down the code we need to inspect.

Sorry, site didn't like my attempt at showing the code notation. I'll try this:

start a section of code with the word "code" surrounded by brackets, "[]". End the code section with the word "/code" surrounded by brackets.

Hi Herodotus7, I added the message boxes and tested the results. The following are the lines of code taking the longest time:
From message box 3 (enter today's date) to message box 4 (copies data to sheet) takes approximately 4-5 seconds.
From message box 5 (clear data from form) to message box 6 (format hyperlinks) takes approximately 18 seconds.
The following is the updated code with the message boxes, and again thank you for taking the time to review.

Two things to try first to reduce the 18 second lag. I see you are looping through the Documentation Link column twice. If you have a substantial amount of entries here, performing edits on each range can eat up time. Try:

1. Group all of the manipulations into one loop.
Code: 
For Each Rng In WorkRng
        Application.ActiveSheet.Hyperlinks.Add Rng, Rng.Value
        With Rng
            .HorizontalAlignment = xlLeft
            .VerticalAlignment = xlTop
            .Font.Color = vbBlue
            .WrapText = True
        End With
    Next

2. Do the old entries already have links in them? If so, why would you update the link? (I might be missing something, since I don't know what's in your spreadsheet). If there's no sense in updating the link, try only adding the link for the recently added item. If something else is going on, let me know.



As for the smaller lag between 3 and 4, it seems strange that its taking so long, as there isn't that much data being added. Is this being entered into a sheet table? Or just a range of cells?

As a general note, it isn't necessary to go through all fields in a form and clear the values. To clear all values, simply add an Unload(userform) command after the data transfer is done in the calling macro.

Code: 
Sub Sample()

UserForm.Show

Unload UserForm



End Sub

This will lose all the data, where as UserForm.Hide would retain the values until the spreadsheet is closed.

That makes sense. However, we need to keep the form open to allow the user to add multiple records. It makes it easy for data entry, instead of launching the form all the time.
The delays are when it copies the data to the sheet, when it formats the hyperlinks and when it formats the cells (this takes the longest).
Any suggestions? And again thank you for helping me with this code.
