Anyhow I think you can accomplish what you are trying to do simply by placing the following event handler into the ThisWorkbook VBA module of your workbook Wkbk1: Private Sub Workbook_Activate() UF1.Show vbModeless End Sub Once you did that you can remove the Workbook_Open event handler you posted and UF1 will show after you closed Rpt1.
