Text Box Set Focus Issue
I have a form with some text boxes used to capture some
text input. After the input box is updated I test the value in a Function called DataOwnerNameValid. If I fail the validation test I give the user a message. I then want to return the cursor to the Input box so the user can reenter the data. I tried the earlier suggestion as follows but now get an error message: Private Sub DataOwnerInputBox_Exit(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean) If DataOwnerForm.DataOwnerInputBox = "" Then Exit Sub xOwner = DataOwnerForm.DataOwnerInputBox OwnerOK = DataOwnerNameValid(xOwner) If OwnerOK = False Then MsgBox "The Data Owner Name must be in the format: Lastname, Firstname. Your input is - " & xOwner & " - and does not meet the format required. Try again or cancel.", vbExclamation, "Data Owner Name Invalid" DataOwnerForm.DataOwnerInputBox.Cancel = True End If End Sub Now I get an error message: Could not set the cancel property. Member not Found. Subject: Text Box on User Form Set Focus Issue From: "Tom Ogilvy" Sent: 9/6/2003 7:21:41 AM Use the Exit event and set cancel = True if the entry is not valid. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy John Flynn wrote in message ... I have a form with some text boxes used to capture some text input. After the input box is updated I test the value in a Function called DataOwnerNameValid. If I fail the validation test I give the user a message. I then want to return the cursor to the Input box so the user can reenter the data. To do this I use the following command: DataOwnerForm.DataOwnerInputBox.SetFocus But it doesn't work. The next input box or other control on the form is selected. What is the right way to do this? Thank you Private Sub DataOwnerInputBox_AfterUpdate() If DataOwnerForm.DataOwnerInputBox = "" Then Exit Sub OwnerOK = DataOwnerNameValid (DataOwnerForm.DataOwnerInputBox) If OwnerOK = False Then MsgBox "Not Valid Name", vbExclamation, "Data Owner Name Invalid" DataOwnerForm.DataOwnerInputBox.SetFocus End If End Sub |
