DialogSheet - Reference for someone who never used Excel 95?

[Alan]

Hi All,

I have a situation where a client has a workbook that uses
DialogSheets, set up in Excel 95 by someone long gone and they have
asked me if I can assist in editing the workbook functionality.

I am very comfortable working with userforms and VBA in general, but I
have never before encountered DialogSheets which, I believe, were an
Excel 95 feature that was superceded by userforms in Excel 97.


Does anyone know of some kind of 'DialogSheets 101' reference on the
net somewhere that I can use to get a history lesson? I have searched
around, and there are lots of references to dialogsheets but nothing
that seems to do what this does for userforms:

Or, same thing in a shorter link:

Thanks,

Alan.

I have a word document explaining dialogsheets and forms controls that
Microsoft used to have on their web site that is equivalent to:

http://support.microsoft.com/?id=168067
XL97: WE1163: "Visual Basic Examples for Controlling UserForms"

if you want it, contact me at (e-mail address removed) using a valid email address
that I can send it to.

Hi Vasant,

You are probably correct, but I don't have a specific question in that
respect.

I just don't want to walk into a situation with a client 'blind' with
respect to dialogsheets.

I will see what Tom sends me.

Thanks,

Alan.
