This works for me

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim test As Boolean

With TextBox7
test = UCase(.Value) = "YES" Or UCase(.Value) = "NO"
If Not test Then
MsgBox (.Value & " is not acceptable, must be yes or no" & _
vbCrLf & vbCrLf & " Try again")
.SetFocus
.SelStart = 0
.SelLength = Len(.Text)
End If
End With
End Sub

In a user form I want to ensure that textbox7 contains either YES or NO
when
the form is completed. If there is anything else in textbox7, I want the
form shown again with the focus on textbox7 and its contents highlighted.
The following does not set the focus or highlight the contents but doesn't
let me exit the form until I have yes or no in the textbox. Can someone
tell
me what is missing please?


Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim test As Boolean

again1:
test = UCase(TextBox7.Value) = "YES" Or UCase(TextBox7.Value) = "NO"
If Not test Then
normLog10.Hide
MsgBox (TextBox7.Value & " is not acceptable, must be yes or no" &
vbCrLf & vbCrLf & _
" Try again")
normLog10.Show
TextBox7.SetFocus
TextBox7.SelStart = 0
TextBox7.SelLength = 100
GoTo again1:
End If
end sub

Thanks
