Excel and vba forms and bas files

[cadcamguy]

I came across this situation when I would make edits to my userform when excel was started by another application.

I would export the frm file thinking that next time I run it will bring in the new info. After all I just saved it right. Next time it was like before, the update form had to be reloaded after removing the one with the same name.

Now I found that if I editted one item on the sheet and then bailed back to the calling app that my form edits during that session would be updated and next time I wouldn't have to reload the form.

This is old hat right? It's not so much that another app is calling it but the way excel wraps the forms and bas files.

If I run excel from the app. then it doesn't call in the files that I have in my xlstart dir.. if I just run excel then it seems to pull in the updated frm... not 100% on that okay

Just curious having found out the hard way

okay I did check and it must be the way vba is handled....
unlike VB if I save just the form, not the project it does bring in the newest version..weird
