Tim,

Unfortunately, I have to develop for people who aren't familiar with windows
functions, too. (Such as using tab to switch text boxes instead of enter
like in Excel.)

Here were my two solutions:
1. When the Default property of all buttons on the userform is set to False,
using the enter button should advance to the next text box. However, this is
not a particularly good solution for users who do know how to use tab (or
aren't too lazy to learn it) because they'll want to use enter to activate
the default button, like choosing the "OK" button when all the necessary
data has been entered. Instead, I chose solution #2:

2. Explain to your users how to use windows and hope like crazy they're more
responsive than a pile of bricks.

I'm sure you could also intercept any enter key presses, but isn't that too
much coding for a simple [user] problem? Also, you'd incur the same
detriment as above (I want my default buttons, darn it! That doesn't make me
an elitist, does it?)

Hope I helped.

Hey all,
As the subject states...
I'm designing many userforms for this workbook and a lot of the users are
used to hitting enter to move to the next field. I only know of using tab
to
move to the next one.
Is there a way to accomplish this?
