This tip is great and I can kind of re-work my user form to use this command and achievce what I need. Thankyou.

However, ideally I would like to set the second page of my form only to be enabled when a certain check box on the first page is checked. Have tried a few things but no sucess. I'm very new to VBA so possibly I am making an ameteuristic mistake.

Thanks in Advance for any help.

Thank you again,

I have been struggling with this problem for over a week now.
All of the code I wrote using Excel 2000 suddenly fell over when I "Up"graded to Excel 2003...
I used Andy Pope's suggestion of using the click event instead of the change event and its all working again.
I can only guess that its an intentional fix in Excel 2003, preventing people from writing code which changes the multipage value, which is triggered by the multipage_change() event.
I suppose its conceivable that the code could fall into the chain of:
multipage_change() -> multipage.value = X -> multipage_change() -> multipage.value = X -> ...

And maybe theres something in Excel 2003 preventing this from happening.

Anyway, my problem is fixed.

You're a friggin' genius! I've been pulling out what little hair I have left for two days over this one. BTW, this wasn't a bug in Excel 2000, but cropped up in XP and 2003.

Way to think outside the box!

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Nitin: I don’t know the cause. Even if MS let me see the code for Excel, I guarantee I wouldn’t understand it.

I have been trying to solve this issue for the past week and this solution ROCKS. Thank you for posting the solution to this issue. Do you know the reason behind this issue or what causing it.

Thank you

Andy: We have a contact person (called a Lead) at Microsoft to whom we can report bugs. I don’t think we get any special treatment though. The only benefit that I’ve ever seen is that she reads the messages and frankly I wouldn’t know where else to submit them. I looked around microsoft.com for a bug submission page, but came up empty.

Speaking of bugs… I was just curious: since you’re an MVP, do you have the authority/status/ability to report bugs to Microsoft and have them actually pay attention?

Sorry, I meant Andy, not Andrew…
