You can customise the shape of your user forms, and it’s Kewl! All the kids in my house are doing it! Look at this stupid form shape I was able to make!

Why on earth would you want to do it I hear you ask?! That’s a very good question! When I started this I thought it was really not very useful at all. I’m still thinking that, but maybe there might be a few practical uses for it. I’m thinking tool tips and popup type things. I have covered using captionless user forms (and worksheets!), and even popup forms previously. I was never happy with the way the captionless forms looked in VBA, they look ok in VB6 but in VBA they has a wafty boarder.

Of course if you want to move over to VSTO you can even make a user form in the shape of John Walkenbach’s upper half! Is that the sound of ringing tills I can hear!
