Calling a userform and returning a value

Question

I have a vba code thats Auto_Open. It does some checks then prompts a userform that asks for username and password. I called this userform with userform_name.show

You can manage to do this without the use of public variables.

There appears to be a difference between show/hide and load/unload.

If you hide a form while it's still loaded it won't be cleared out, so you can reference the state of the controls on the form.

For example I was using a date picker (called DTPicker1) on a form, my code in the module looks something like this:

Dim NewDay As Date

Load FrmDayPicker
FrmDayPicker.Show

NewDay = FrmDayPicker.DTPicker1.Value

Unload FrmDayPicker

Debug.Print NewDay

On your form you can just use Me.Hide insteaded of Unload Me and this should work
