SYMPTOMS
If you use the QueryClose event in a Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications macro to control a UserForm, the UserForm may still be visible after you close it.



CAUSE
The UserForm may still be visible after you close it if the macro for the QueryClose event uses the Show method to display another UserForm.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, unload the UserForm in the QueryClose event macro before you display another UserForm. The "More Information" section in this article contains information about implementing this solution.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.



MORE INFORMATION
Microsoft provides programming examples for illustration only, without warranty either expressed or implied. This includes, but is not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. This article assumes that you are familiar with the programming language that is being demonstrated and with the tools that are used to create and to debug procedures. Microsoft support engineers can help explain the functionality of a particular procedure, but they will not modify these examples to provide added functionality or construct procedures to meet your specific requirements. The following steps demonstrate the workaround for using the Show method in a QueryClose event macro:

 Close and save any open workbooks, and then create a new workbook. Start the Visual Basic Editor (press OPTION+F11). On the Insert menu, click UserForm.

This step inserts UserForm1 into the project. Add a CommandButton to UserForm1, and then double-click the CommandButton to display the Visual Basic module behind the UserForm.  Enter the following code for the CommandButton Click event: Private Sub CommandButton1_Click

UserForm1.Hide UserForm2.Show

End Sub </li> On the Insert menu, click UserForm.

This step inserts UserForm2 into the project.</li>  Double-click UserForm2 and enter the following code for the QueryClose event for UserForm2: Private Sub UserForm_QueryClose(Cancel As Integer, _         CloseMode As Integer)

If CloseMode = 0 Then

' Unload UserForm2. Unload Me

UserForm1.Show End If

End Sub </li> Click UserForm1 and run the UserForm (press F5).

UserForm1 is displayed.</li> Click the CommandButton on UserForm1.

UserForm1 is hidden and UserForm2 is displayed.</li> Click the Close button in the upper-left corner of UserForm2.

UserForm2 is hidden, and then UserForm1 is displayed.</li> Close UserForm1.</li></ol>
