Martin,

Code to control the initial display and configuration of a
userform can usually go in three places...
The general module calling the form
The Initialize event of the form
The Activate event of the form
The initialize event occurs when the form is loaded.
The activate event occurs each time the form is shown.
The "Me" word refers to the form itself and can only
be used in the form's code module.

A userform and each page of a multipage control have their own
independent tab orders.

Hope some of the above can help you work out the problem.

Jim,
Thanks again.

I got an invalid use of ME error & modified code. The textbox is on the
firstpage of a 2 page multipage on top of a userform.

With UserForm1.MultiPage1
'Make the second page active
..Value = 0
..Pages(0).Text1.SetFocus
End With

I'm guessing that 0 is the index of the first page as I had error 438 (obj
does not supp..)when .value was 1 and error 2110 with .pages(1)

I dont get errors with code shown but dont get focus in textbox either.
What is weird is when I use Tab key - the focus goes to textbox2 which is the
next tab order.

Martin,

If the textbox is on one of the pages (not directly on the userform)
then code something like this could be used...

Private Sub UserForm_Activate()
With Me.MultiPage1
'Make the second page active
.Value = 1
.Pages(1).TextBox4.SetFocus
End With
End Sub

Jim,
Thank you for your comments. Text1 has a tabindex of 0. I've made the other
changes uou indicated but Text1 still does not receive the focus.
When I just had the items on a userform Text1 would receive focus. The
problem developed when I went to MultiPage. Any thoughts?
Martin

Martin,
Set the tab order so that Text1 is first in the tab order.
That control gets the focus when the form is shown.
The Load UserForm1 line is not necessary as the form
loads when you first refer to the form.
Also, control settings code should come before the form is shown.

Userform1 has a multipage with two pages.

Page1 has 8 textboxes - Text1 through Text8 and 3 comboboxes

I would like Text1 to receive focus so data can be entered. My code worked
fine on a regular userform but when I changed to a multipage Text1 does not
receive focus - I am stumped. Appreciate any help.
here is code to load
Sub show_myform()
Worksheets("Constants").Range("mysounds").Value = 2
UserForm1.ComboBox1.AddItem "Hourly"
UserForm1.ComboBox1.AddItem "Milage"
UserForm1.ComboBox1.ListIndex = 0
UserForm1.ComboBox2.AddItem "On"
UserForm1.ComboBox2.AddItem "Off"
UserForm1.ComboBox2.ListIndex = 1
Load UserForm1

On Error Resume Next
UserForm1.Show vbModeless
'UserForm1.ComboBox2.ListIndex = 1

With UserForm1.Text1
.SetFocus
.SelStart = 0
.SelLength = Len(.Text)
Cancel = True
End With

End Sub
