stringed userforms won't hide

[Shawn]

I have about 15 userforms stringed together. On these userforms are various
combo boxes, text boxes, options buttons, text boxes etc. Each has a
"continue" button and a "back" button. If the "continue" button is clicked,
then the values from all the boxes and buttons are transferred to a sheet.

The last 3 lines of code are:

application. screenupdating = true
userform"next".show
userform"current".hide

When the next userform activates, the last line of vba in the activate
procedure is:

application.screenupdating= false.

The back button has similar code as well.

Again, these userforms are all stringed together.

About half way through, the userforms stop hiding. I have pulled my hair
out but can't resolve this?????

Try the hide before the show.

I have tried that as well as "unload" instead of hide.

Are you using Me.Show and Me.Hide? Are you opening modal or modeless?

I am not using Me.Show or Me.Hide.

I don't know the difference between modal and modeless.

I found my problem and resolved it, though I don't understand what the real
problem was.

All the sheets in my file are hidden save one. In the activate procedure of
userform 5 there was a line of code that "sheet.active" a hidden sheet. I
didn't need that line of code, so when I removed it, the issue went away.

15 userforms is an awful lot! could you consolidate them into, say,
3, using multipages?
would be easier to figure out where problems are. just a design
comment.
