You can forget the code from Excel example.

The VBA implemented by AutoCAD has built-in way to show UserForm as either Modal or Modeless with Modal mode as default. Simply call

UserForm.Show or UserForm.Show vbModal to get a modal form shown

Or

UserForm.Show vbModeless to get a floating form shown

However, just showing UserForm as Modeless, you may not be able to do anything useful with the floating form, because the form does not hold focus. So, in order to use modeless form in Acad VBA, you need to use the form in conjuction with acFocusCtrlxx.dll (xx is Acad version number).

Hi,

Edit the property of your User form, and change the "ShowModal" option to False
