Did you put this in the Userform_Initialize? Try changing the name of
the subroutine to Userform_Activate.

Hi
having loaded a userform I want to enter data in the first text box
without having to click in it with the mouse first. The tab order is correct
and I have tried the command "textbox1.setfocus"
in the userform initialization code but this does not work and I still have
to click the mouse in the text box before entering.
Thanks for any help
Peter
