Ribbon disabled during operation of modeless userform

[Dave Jenkins]

Windows XP SP3, Office 2007 SP1

Have a modeless User form, working ok. Users can go do other stuff in the
editor while form is up, except that ribbon seems to be disabled. It's not
grayed out, it just doesn't do anything.

Is there a way around this? I could see problems if there were - for
instance, the user might end PowerPoint, etc. OTOH, there are certain things
they would like to do via the ribbon that I would like to allow - could I
enable just those from within form initialization? How?

Hi Dave

Having a modeless form doesn't in itself stop the ribbon working. Maybe
there's something in the code that's doing this.

Thanks, John. I'll have to snoop around ...
