let me make that slightly clearer:

textbox1
multipage:
|--------------------------------|
| |
| textbox2
| |
|--------------------------------|

textbox2 can not setfocus on textbox1 ("unexpected call to method or
property access" error)

Interestingly, textbox1 code CAN set the focus on textbox2

Thank you!

Hi all...

More userform setfocus drama... (this is seems to be a VERY buggy area
for excel)

I have event code from an object that appears on a multipage page. *In
that code, it attempts to set the focus on a textbox that lives
OUTSIDE the multipage.

This causes an "unexpected call to method or property access" error.

If I move that textbox out of the multipage and onto the userform,
then all works well.

I have tried calling it explicitly: "Userform1.textbox1.setfocus" * no
dice. *same error.

Thoughts? *workarounds?

thank you!
