SetFocus Problem
 

My original question was...What is the code to enter lets
say TextBox6. When I say this, I want the cursor to enter
that textbox.

Robin Hammond said to use setfocus

textbox6.setfocus

When I do this it does not work. The way I did it was
entering a value in textbox6 and clicking in another
textbox, if a certain condition is met a msgbox pops up
telling the user invalid value and then the next line is
textbox6.setfocus to bring the cursor back in that
textbox, but instead, the cursor goes to the textbox I
clicked.

How do I fix this?

Thank you

SetFocus Problem
 

Todd,

This works for me

With TextBox6
.SetFocus
.SelStart 1
.SelLength = Len(.Text)
Cancel = True
End With

I use this code in the Textbox Exit event, as this has the option to cancel
an exit.
