    Vb 6.3 run time error
    I need some help here.
    I am writing applications for my company using Excel 2003 and Visual Basic 6.3.
    The applications I have written before we got Windows XP used Excel and Visual Basic 6.0. To call up the Input form I have used the following code:

    Sub auto_open()
    UserForm1.Show
    End Sub

    When I tried to use the same code, in VB 6.3 I got the following error message

    Run Time error '424':

    Object required

    I am not sure what to do. I have looked in the Microsoft website and all of the information I was able to find seem to indicate that this code should work.

    When I ran the debug function, 'UserForm1.Show' was highlighted. I would appreciate any suggestions or information that anyone has.

    Thanks

    I use VB 6.3 as well. I'm just a beginner and I follow Gary Cornell's book. For starting or opening up a form.
    Try,
    Sub Form_Load() 'instead of auto_open
    UserForm1.Show 'add the show method
    End Sub

    I hope you find it useful.
