Creating the UserForms

To create the UserForms, follow these steps:

1. Save and close any open workbooks, and then create a new workbook.
2. Start the Visual Basic Editor (press ALT+F11).
3. On the Insert menu, click UserForm.
   
   This step inserts UserForm1 into the project.
4. Add a text box and a command button control to the UserForm.
5. Change the Caption property of the command button to show UserForm2.
6. On the Insert menu, click UserForm.
   
   This step inserts UserForm2 into the project.
7. Add a text box and a command button control to the UserForm.
8. Change the Caption property of the command button to show UserForm1

Sample Macro for Moving Between UserForms

To create the macro, follow these steps:

1. Double-click the command button on UserForm1.
2. Type the following code for the CommandButton1 Click event:

   Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
   
      'Set the text for TextBox1 in UserForm2 with the text in
      'TextBox1 in UserForm1.
      UserForm2.TextBox1.Text = TextBox1.Text
   
      UserForm1.Hide
      UserForm2.Show
   
   End Sub
   					

3. Double-click the command button on UserForm2.
4. Type the following code for the CommandButton1 Click event:

   Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
   
      'Set the text for the TextBox in UserForm1.
      UserForm1.TextBox1.Text = TextBox1.Text
   
      UserForm2.Hide
      UserForm1.Show
   
   End Sub
   						

   NOTE: Because the command button and text box controls are on different UserForms, you can use the same name for the controls.
5. On the Insert menu, click Module.
6. Type the following code in this module:

   Sub Show_UserForms()
   
      UserForm1.Show
   
   End Sub
   					

7. Run the Show_UserForms macro.
8. Type any text in the text box on UserForm1, and then click the command button.
   
   UserForm1 is hidden. UserForm2 is displayed with the text you typed in the text box on UserForm1.
9. Type new text in the text box on UserForm2, and then click the command button.
   
   UserForm2 is hidden. UserForm1 is displayed with the text you typed in the text box on UserForm2.
10. Close the UserForm.
