Userform won't show after closing another file

[Gerry O]

I have two files. First file runs through a userid/password validation then
gives user a list of files to open on userform. After selection, userform is
hidden (me.hide), second file opens. User makes changes, etc. Command
button gives user option on second file to close & save changes and reshow
the userform on first file to make another selection. After saving changes
and closing on second file, userform on first file should be re-shown. My
current code does close and save the file, but when focus returns to first
file, userform is not visible.

Here is code to close second file and return to first file:

Private Sub Show_Cost_Center()

Application.Run ("HideAll")
Return_Cost_Center.Show vbModeless

End Sub

Here is code on first file to re-show the userform:

Private Sub cmbSelectNew_Click()

Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Unload Me
Application.EnableEvents = True
Application.Run ("MainHideAll")
Windows("Main Menu").Visible = True
ThisWorkbook.gMacro = True
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.Run "'ABS Open v2.0.xls'!Show_Cost_Center"
ThisWorkbook.Close savechanges:=True

End Sub

Any help would be appreciated!

I can't tell why the first form does not reappear, but

Application.Run ("HideAll")
Application.Run ("MainHideAll")

Just use:

HideAll
MainHideAll

Routines in the same workbook as the caller can be called directly.

Is that true for Private Subs too?

But only if the calling sub and called sub are in the same module, right?

Yeah, I thought he meant Option Private Module but it's pretty obvious he
didn't. Thanks.

 

[Jim Rech]

Is that true for Private Subs too?

You declare a sub private so that it cannot be called from outside its
module. If you decide you want to then removing the Private is another way
to go.

Thanks, Jim. I definitely want to keep private as I don't want users to be
able to see macros if they select run macro from the tools menu. Thanks for
the info, though. I learned something new!

 

[Jim Rech]

I don't want users to be able to see macros if they select run macro from
If you put Option Private Module at the top of the module users will not be
able to see the macros and you'll be able to call them directly. The best
of both worlds!<g>
