Error Closing Userform

I'm popping an error when I hit the "X" closing a userform. Here's the code that should close it. Am I missing something obvious?

thanks!

Code:
Private Sub Userform_QueryClose(cancel As Integer, closemode As Integer)On Error GoTo Helper
If closemode = 0 Then
    'Application Closer
    If Workbooks.Count > 1 Then
        ActiveWorkbook.Close
    Else: Application.Quit
    End If
End If
'Error Clearing Code
Exit Sub
Helper:
    resp = MsgBox("We're sorry to see you've encountered an error." & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "To proceed, we recommend you contact the Developer " & _
    "with error codes [1026] and " & "[" & Err.Number & "-" & Err.Description & "]." & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "To attempt to patch your problem at least " & _
    "temporarily, we recommend you click [Yes] to see help directions. Would you like to continue?", vbYesNoCancel, name)
        If resp = vbYes Then
            Call Error_Handle(sProcName, Err.Number, Err.Description)
        ElseIf resp = vbNo Then
            Exit Sub
        ElseIf resp = vbCancel Then
            Exit Sub
        End If
End Sub
 
In that case
Code:
With Activesheet
    .Range("D9").Formula = IIf(.Previous.Name Like "Noon*","='Voyage Specifics'!D8","=PrevSheet(D8)")
End With
If you want to use a variable to hold a formula then it should be String, not Double, although there is no need for it here.
Also, you're attempting to use A1 references with FormulaR1C1 which will not work, even if your syntax was correct.

Excel Facts

What do {} around a formula in the formula bar mean?
{Formula} means the formula was entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter signifying an old-style array formula.
Interesting. So pure curiosity, and again thank you because this is a huge help,

The R1C1 seems to be working (minus in that position). Now I tried adding brackets and running the formula which seemed to work but I can correct. R1C1 is purely based on columns and rows then...understood.

Now last piece- if I want to define a “name” that’s displayed in the top bar of a pop up window, that would be a string, agreed? Same as if I wanted to define a word within a pop up text box (see below) looking at defining sprocname

Code:
If resp = vbyes then
Call error_handle(sprocname, err.number, err.description)

That is correct, assuming that by pop up, you mean message box then you would assign the string to the title.

Excellent. Thank you thank you.

Ok I found the userform closing issue that has plagued me. So, if another excel workbook is open, then when I close one of the initial (opening) userforms, this problem isn't experienced. If this workbook, upon opening, is the only one open, the problem persists. SO, here's how the workbook is designed to open:

The user clicks to open the workbook. The workbook should immediately open and hide itself, presenting only a userform (so that this looks like a program running). Through a series of userforms, I've essentially created menus and such that the user can click through. Various options open other userforms which, in turn, create various excel sheets. The "base sheets," or sheets that are universal across all of the various workbook options, are hidden upon the creation of optional sheets, and thus these hidden sheets hold "user preferences" (names and references for VBA) as well as give VBA a reason to exist.

Now, if I close one of the early userforms, I generate an error that goes to this procedure. I attempted to remove the "On error goto" piece so I could debug the error but that failed- when clicking debug, it would flash the vba screen and then shutdown excel. I've included the shutdown code following below. Thanks!

Code:

Any thoughts on how I might go about debugging this?

Why not use
Code:
If Workbooks.Count = 1 Then workbooks.Add
to create a new workbook if there is only one workbook open?

I could be wrong, but I have a feeling that trying to run the code with no 'Active' workbook could be something that will never work.

Sorry, I'm confused what you mean with this.

The shutdown code is intended to close only the activeworkbook if other workbooks are open and if the active is the only one open, then close excel. It seems to work everywhere excel if I close a starting (initial) userform. If I close an initial userform, I get a "1010" (I made the numbers so I could quickly find the errors) error which means the error was in that button creation set of code and I'm not sure why nor how to debug it. The button creation shouldn't throw an error (in my opinion) if the userform is closed.

What I mean is that I think that this could be the problem when there is no other workbook open.
The workbook should immediately open and hide itself, presenting only a userform (so that this looks like a program running).
Have you tried closing the workbook nstead of quitting the application?

Another thing to try would be to enter the Stop command as the first line of the code, then use f8 to step through it until you find thepoint of failure.

I've tried closing the workbook (but then the application has to be shown again and closed. Currently, the application is hidden when the userforms are showing.

So I inserted the stop command in the userform query close coding on multiple userforms (I could cause the 1010- 424 object required error to popup closing various userforms) and when stepping through the whole series of closing code, it didn't seem to have a problem....not sure why. So the only time the coding that seems to error (1010) errors is in the startup code below. See anything?

Try the Stop command as the first line of workbook open, then step through.
