    Accessing other excel spreat sheets

    I have created a Form for a group of 30 - 40 users.
    My users also need to access other excel spread sheets while the form is running. Currently when we try to do this we cannot open other excel document without first closing the form

    can anyone please help

      hi

      create a button on your xl-form, with code ...

      Workbooks.Open Filename:= "OtherFilename. xls"

      and let it run
      no worries, your present form is only send to the background.
