Already circled the internet and has the same answer that did not work as I wanted to be.



Q: How to hide workbook and show userform without hiding other workbook?



This code is good but hides other workbooks.



Application.Visible = False


This code is bad as it still shows the excel application.



Workbooks("Workbook Name.xlsm").Window(1).Visible = False


Also dont work.



ActiveWorkbook.Visible = False


Lastly, the tool method, going to tools>options>general tab>ignore other application. I dont have this option on my VBA



This is the code I used.



Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
If Application.Windows.Count > 1 Then
Application.Windows(ThisWorkbook.Name).Visible = False
Else
Application.Visible = False
End If


and in ThisWorkbook module



Private Sub Workbook_Open()
UserForm1.Show
End Sub

The correct way to hide one specific workbook is



Application.Windows(ThisWorkbook.Name).Visible = False


where ThisWorkbook.Name can be replaced with the desired workbook name like "MyWb.xlsm".




  • If there are more than one workbooks open at the same time this will hide the specified workbook (and its application window).

  • If this is the only workbook that is open it will hide the specified workbook (without its application window).


If you want to hide the application window you must use



Application.Visible = False


The trick is now to combine them



If Application.Windows.Count > 1 Then 'more than one workbook open: Hide workbook only
Application.Windows(ThisWorkbook.Name).Visible = False
Else 'only one workbook open: Hide application
Application.Visible = False
End If

  • Hi, thank you for your kind answer. I try the code, put it in Initialize event and add userform1.show in workbook_open. I open extra workbook then open my working file and did not hide any workbook on the other hand I try to open my working file first before other workbook, other workbook did not shown up.

  • The code should work (I'm not sure what you did wrong). Especially if we don't see how your actual code looks like. Edit your original question, add the code you use and describe exactly what you did. Comments are too short to clarify this question.

    – Reymond

  • Probably the issue is that the code tries to hide the workbook before it is shown. This could be a timing issue. Maybe try to put it into the UserForm_Activate.
