Default setfocus on user form

Hi Chris

Allow me to say that a textbox is perhaps the worst choice of control for a
forced yes-no-response. You should use either a combobox set to List style,
or two optionbuttons (aka radio buttons).

HTH. Best wishes Harald

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
Chris
