Hi all,

Please can you help as I am completely lost.

I have a Excel file. in it I have a sheet with nothing on it but a rectangle that is a link to a Macro.

The macro is simple (or so I thought). Click the rectangle and it will open up a user form.

Option Explicit

Sub Rectangle3_Click()
frmMatchInsert.Show
End Sub

But guess what! ... yep runtime error 424; object required.

The form name is frmMatchInsert so I can't see a problem. ALSO to add insult to injury I have got code for another file that is almost exactly the same (form name is the only change) and that runs ok.

Where have I gone wrong ?

Thanks for helping.

Hi,
I've added empty form (UserForm1) and typed UserForm1.Show into module. Everything works fine. So I've damaged the name to xUserForm1.Show and I've recieved your error.
Check, if your form exists in the same workbook and if it has EXACTLY name frmMatchInsert (try intellisence, if it knows it)

Thanks,

I have just tried it again and still the same thing. I even copied the name (frmMatchInsert) and pasted it in to the code to make sure.

Again Runtime Error '424' :(

I also tried earlier changing the name completely to frmTrial2 and still gave me the error :(

Think I am losing me marbles ;)

Hi mate ...

Ok no laffing now .... the form name was right BUT I had changed it so the form initialise was wrong !

SELECT * FROM user WHERE MYBrain > 0 Return NULL !

I might have another stoopid question soon. Thanks again for your help.

Forget any complicated code, just set up a simple macro that shows the userform on run, then right click on the rectangle and assign the macro. When you click on the rectangle, the macro runs and the userform shows.

HI,

I am also facing the same prob. Same set of codes are running in one file. But as i insert exactly same codes in other file. runtime error24 object required reflects..

Pls help me if you have go d solution.

Regards,
Manish
