Ensure workbook is always the active workbook

[Sharid]

On my useform I have several objects like listbox, multipages and buttons, is it possible to ensure that if ANY object is clicked on a userform or the userform itself is clicked then the correct WORKBOOK that contains the useform will become the ACTIVE workbook.

Users are getting error messages, mainly due to the correct workbook not being the active workbook. This happens when the user has several workbooks open and the correct workbook with the userform IS NOT the active workbook the code crashes as script out of range.

Safest option is to preface all sheets and ranges with the workbook name & sheet name. That way you are guaranteed to be looking at the correct sheet.

Thanks, Fluff. I did think of that but its a big job I was hoping for a quick fix. one click to do it all

Very much doubt that's possible. Even if it is, one of the users will find a way to break it.

I had a similar problem, and found out, that it was related to the Multipage selections, itself. If a selected Multipage was selected, and the Sheet belonging to that, was NOT the active, I got an error (as you). So my solution was, that for each Multipage, I did Set the Sheet for that actual Page, on the Form. That solwed the problem for me.
