VB<->VBA interoperability

Hi All,

I have a very general question regarding the interoperability of VB/VBA
applications.

I know that it is possible to create a form e.g. in Excel from which I
launch Word and then show the Excel form on top of Word.

But I cannot manage to show a form - which I have created in a
stand-alone Visual Basic application (using its VBA Editor) - on top of
Excel.

Does this make sense? Wouldn't you expect that there is no difference
between MS Office applications and a VBA macro in an external VB
application?

Any comments are very much appreciated!

Many thanks and kind regards,
Kuhni

The problem you're having sounds like the forms don't agree with each
other. In VB, the forms are of one type, in Office they are of another
type.

T, thanks for your thoughts on this!

Your comment sounds right, but on the other hand I am using an
integrated VBA editor to create the form I want to show in Excel, so
why shouldn't it work then? My other macros work with Excel as well...

Again thanks for any ideas on this!
