Shortcut/Button to start VBA userform

[rossbielski]

I am trying to find a way open a userform inside my visio diagram through
pushing shortcut keys, or by clicking on a button on the document. I have the
userform startup when the document is opened and close it when I am done with
using it, but I want to be able to bring it back when I need it again without
running it through vba editor.

"without running it through the vba editor" is not clear to me.

You can add a Microsoft Forms CommandButton from the Developer Tool
Bar and then Open your form using the CommandButton Click event.

Simple enough?

1. "through pushing shortcut keys"
You can make a macro that start with short cut key
by recording your operation with such option..

2. "but I want to be able to bring it back when I need it"
VBA UserForm cannot go behind Visio,
but if you open UserForm with VBModeless mode,
you can access Visio drawing while UserForm is visible.

Looks like that one is a no-go. I got an error that stated too many shapes.
Its a pretty large diagram and looks like it wont let me add a command-button
for whatever reason. Thanks though. It does work great on smaller diagrams,
just not mine. I got shortcut keys too work, which is better I think anyways
than trying to find a button on a page.

Thats it. The shortcut key works perfect. I was getting frustrated by not
being able to move the diagram while I was working, so thanks for the forward
thinking and advice. You helped out my workcenter in ways you can't imagine
with that tip.
