Refedit (can't get to work at all)

[Guest]

I'm very new to userforms, and still trying to find my way.
This is annoying the hell out of me.

I'm wanting to use a Refedit, in a bid to make a simple userform that will
add everything in the selection together.

Whenever I try and use a Refedit and activate the userform the button on it
does nothing. Not only that, but the RefEdit seems to always be active,
changing when I select an area on the spreadsheet.
There seems to be no way of getting out of it either, and i'm stuck with a
userform on the screen that I can't get rid of, and the only way to get out
of it seems to be to reboot the computer.

Is there something obvious i'm missing? is there a setting that must be set
before a RefEdit will work correctly and not screw up the sheet? or is there
a built in setting that I need to turn off?

If you would like an example where RefEdit works OK, you could browse to the
Histogram page at http://www.treeplan.com, download the XLA file, and
examine the code behind the user form.

You might already have this but just in case, try this:

I had a look at that, and followed the instructions for using Refedit in a
userform. Including copying and pasting the code for the command button.

I hit F5 and it did indeed let me choose an area, then when I presses the
command button it coloured the selection red and finished.

Then I went into excel and ran the macro that opens the userform (just
Userform.show) and now i'm stuck again.
