Help! Can anyone please tell me a work round to make userforms tab.
Microsoft doesn't see this as a problem or a bug. It's driving me mad!

Unfortunately, this bug (which, IIRC, MS acknowledges as a bug) doesn't
have a workaround as far as I know.

And given that userforms are going away in XL2008, it's certainly not
likely to become a priority.

Thank you for your reply, having spent several years making XL do
what I want it to do, I guess XL2008 will have to stay on the shelf!

Possible alternative:

if you're willing to do it in an AppleScript environment, you can create
sophisticated forms that can interact with XL08.

Excellent point. VBA and Applescript interact with each other. You can make
a form in AppleScript and have it do your bidding with VBA.

Hi,

This is a known issue with Office 2004, which is still a supported product.

Please take moment to send feedback via Excel's help menu requesting that
this problem be addressed in an update.

Thanks
