Selecting / Activating TextBox on UserForm

[Len Piwowar]

I created a userform which has textboxes and comboboxes on it. I would like Me.textbox1 to be the active or selected box with the cusor flashing in it when the form is shown. I have tried; me.textbox1.setfocus, me.textbox1.select and me.textbox1.activate but non of these approaches seem to work. Thanks In Advance!!

Hi Len,

To have the focus on a control on form load, set the TabIndex property of that control to 0.

Hi....

Did you put "me.textbox1.setfocus" in the main forms......activate event...? Try it there..and it should work...!

Try setting it in the userform initialize statement:

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Me.TextBox1.SetFocus
End Sub
