I just lost 45 minutes completely rewriting a UserForm because there seemed to be an error in it. I played with Load, Unload, Show and Hide, put in some If Then Elses but it only worked 1 time out of 2. And I couldn't find why...

Then after 45 minutes I had a moment of clarity and took a closer look at my macro that triggered the UserForm. My UserForm had 2 possible flags as OptionButtons (V and L) while my macro only accepted V or B. Everytime the macro encountered the L-flag it opened the UserForm again and again and again...

:banghead:

Thank God it's Friday!
 

Excel Facts

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
B, L...what's the difference...it's only 1 letter! :-?

OK, Computer, you know you're s'posed to do what I think, not what I type!

P.S. Friday doesn't mean diddly where I work; we run 24/7 here (all except the lucky (?) *&^%$#@!'s who work in the office area and are on salary. I haven't seen a 40-hour week since... St. Patrick's Day? Something like that. :tired:
