    Hi All,

    I have a very simple macro to help me automate saving a sequence of jpegs.
    I want to hide and show parts and change views etc between saves. How can
    I pause the macro and regain control of sw until I'm ready and then pass
    control back?

    Thanks!

    Really easy, if you are using a form say UserForm1

    Load Userform1
    retval = Userform1.show (False)
    'false makes the userform stay infront of SW but you can
    'manipulate SW just like in the measuring tool.

    The other way is to set your form design-time property of Modal=False.

    Modal=True tells the form to prevent you from interacting with SW.
