Is it possible to have a VBA plug-in that has more than one user document associated with it? I just reached the maximum number of fields I can put on a form.
Why do you not just have a button that brings up a second form? Or a tabbed panel so that you can tab through the different pages?
what is your reason for having a second user document? Would the user click somewhere and they would move on to the second user document?
I am not sure that you can have a second user document attached to one plug-in. You can have several plug-ins attached to one dll (but that is not what you were after I assume)
So a plug-in project can have .cls file, a .dob file and a normal VB form?
I have two complicated plug-ins I am working on. We have NetCommunity, but are unhappy with the options available to put together an alumni biographical update page. So our web programmer has made their own based on an RE export of Alumni that we import into a separate SQL Server database. The updates from the alumni are written back to a table in that database. Ideally my plug-in will be used by our data entry staff to review the updates, by displaying the data exported out of RE and the data that the alumni submitted as an update. I was about 3/4 the way through adding controls to display the data when I ran out of controls that I was allowed to put on a form. We have education and individual relationship information that is going to be reviewed by hand instead of processed in the plug-in. I'd like to be able to have a button on the user document that calls a form that has a crystal report viewer control on it, and display a report of the education and individual relationships. The other plug-in I have, I would also like to be able to call up a form that has a crystal report viewer control.
Yes you can certainly have a form that is displayed from a user document. You just show it as you would in an application from the buttons event handler. A plugin can any number of forms, classes or modules in it. It doesn't matter how you access them. However as far as I am aware only one user document is allowed per plug-in.
