This was written by Mickeysoft and inserted into this form because I used a Wizard to create it. (Needed some pretty stuff.)
This line causes the problem. '.CancelError = False' See below for the explanation.
This is the code that let me know there was a problem.
What's happening is that execution hits
and jumps directly to the Form Load procedure, which shows the frmAbout screen again. (Luckily I put that on a 7 second timer.)
My main issue is why does execution make that jump? I suppose I can work around it if I must, but what a pain. I never expect much in the way of rational behaviour from Mickeysoft products, but this just doesn't make any sense.
Also, my impression of Wizards took a severe beating today when I created this form. It took me several hours to make it fit any kind of standards at all.
And "Yes" I downloaded both Python and Ruby and found out that the ***X community is still stuck where they were 10 years ago. Their software is a lot more flexible than Mickeysoft stuff, but they are still releasing products with no documentation and no file extensions, to be run on Windoze systems.

Code:
Private Sub mnuFileOpen_Click()
Dim strFileName As String
With frmMain.cdlgCommonDialog
.DialogTitle = "Open"
.CancelError = False
'ToDo: set the flags and attributes of the common dialog control
.Filter = "All Files (*.*)|*.*"
.ShowOpen
If Len(.FileName) = 0 Then
MsgBox "No file selected. Please try again."
Exit Sub
End If
strFileName = .FileName
End With
'ToDo: add code to process the opened file

Private Sub Form_Load()
