Apologies if I was too brief. :-)

Excel 2000, Windows 2000 SP 4. The modeless form loads a row of an excel
table. Most of the fields in the form are linked to cells in that row (e.g.
the textbox tbtime may have the controlsource AW18).

The button cbtime is supposed to set the textbox tbtime (and the cell AW18)
to the actual time and then proceeds to the next record (row) by "pressing"
the button cbnext.

Pressing cbtime without breakpoint leaves AW18 empty and proceeds to the
next record. Setting a breakpoint and executing stepwise sets the time as
intended and then proceeds to the next record.
