Hi Jimmy,

open the first form like this:

frmFirstForm.Show

If the user finished his configuration he has to click on btnNext.

Private Sub btnNext_Click

frmSecondForm.Show
Unload Me

End Sub

...and so on.

Or, in case you have something like a "Mainframe" you can add the following
code to it:

frmFirstForm.Show vbModal
frmSecondForm.Show vbModal
frmThirdForm.Show vbModal

The vbModal Parameter says, that VB has to wait with the code of frmMain
until the opened form is closed.

Can you be more specific? I don't know exactly, what you're trying to do.

Thanks for your help!

For example. In the first form the user specify how many worksheets of one
kind he want to have in the workbook. In the next form he get a list where
he can give them own names. The list will have as many entries as the number
of worksheets.

Hi Jimmy,

You can do it easily if you use just one form. In the same form use different
frames. The frames should be a control array. place the Next button on the
form ( out of the frames)

For Example , if the frame name is Frame1.

call the function GoAhead on the click of Next button.

At a time only one frame will be visible.

Private Sub GoAhead()
' get the no of frames
tp1 = Frame1.Count
tp1 = tp1 - 1

For i = 0 To tp1

If Frame1(i).Visible = True Then ' get the visible frame

Frame1(i).Visible = False ' hide it
cmdPrevious.Visible = True ' show the previous button
If i < tp1 Then
If tp1 - i = 1 Then '' if the frame is the last one
Frame1(i + 1).Visible = True ' show next frame
cmdNext.Visible = False ' hide next button
cmdFinish.Visible = True ' show finish button
Else
Frame1(i + 1).Visible = True ' Show the next frame
End If
End If
Exit For
End If
Next
End Sub

Hope it will solve ur problem.

Happy Coding
