Your just too restrictive. This will allow the user to exit if the
textbox1 is blank (which is should be when they want to exit).

Private Sub TextBox1_Exit(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean)
Dim varOne As Long
Dim varTwo As Long
Dim varTotal As Long
If TextBox1.Value < "" And TextBox1 < 0 Then
varOne = TextBox1.Value
varTwo = TextBox2.Value
varTotal = varOne + varTwo
TextBox2.Value = Format(varTotal, "Standard")
TextBox1.Value = ""
Cancel = True
Else
If TextBox1.Value = "0" Then
TextBox1.Value = ""
Cancel = True
End If
End If
End Sub

Tom, I tried your method. It worked after I placed a Textbox1.Value =""
above the first cancel=True.
The only problem is that it seems to create an endless loop, when I
placed a commandbutton to exit the form I am unable to use it.

Actually Jay was right the first time, but doesn't seem to know it.

Private Sub TextBox1_Exit(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean)
Dim varOne As Long
Dim varTwo As Long
Dim varTotal As Long
If TextBox1.Value < "" And TextBox1 < 0 Then
varOne = TextBox1.Value
varTwo = TextBox2.Value
varTotal = varOne + varTwo
TextBox2.Value = Format(varTotal, "Standard")
cancel = True
Else
TextBox1.Value = ""
cancel = True
End If
End Sub

Private Sub UserForm_Activate()
TextBox1.Value = ""
TextBox2.Value = Format(0, "Standard")
End Sub

So you don't need a kludge solution with setfocus and extra events. It
is usually best not to fight the behavior of the controls if you can
help it.

Thank You... adding the enter event for textbox2 did the trick!
Something so easy was killing me!

Thanks Again
Craig

Sorry, my previous post should read:

"Try adding an Enter event procedure (for TextBox2)." instead of
"Try adding an Exit event procedure."

Hi there....
I am trying to clear and setfocus to textbox1 after I enter a number!
I must be setting the controls wrong because I can't get textbox1 to
accept
focus without hitting enter twice.
Here is the sample code below... please help!

Option Explicit

Private Sub TextBox1_AfterUpdate()
Dim varOne As Long
Dim varTwo As Long
Dim varTotal As Long
If TextBox1.Value < "" And TextBox1 < 0 Then
varOne = TextBox1.Value
varTwo = TextBox2.Value
varTotal = varOne + varTwo
TextBox2.Value = Format(varTotal, "Standard")
TextBox1.Value = ""
TextBox1.SetFocus
Else
TextBox1.Value = ""
TextBox1.SetFocus
End If
End Sub
Private Sub UserForm_Activate()
TextBox1.Value = ""
TextBox2.Value = Format(0, "Standard")
End Sub


Thanks
Craig
