How do I set focus
 

Hi,

I have a userform with a textbox and the following in the AfterUpdate event:

If Not IsNumeric(Me.txtBill.Value) Then
MsgBox "This needs to be a number", vbExclamation, "Input Error"
Me.txtBill.Value = ""
Me.txtBill.SetFocus

However this does not set the focus back to the txtBill

What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

You should put your code in the BeforeUpdate event and set Cancel to
TRUE if the condition of exit is not met.

Ex:

Private Sub txtBill_BeforeUpdate(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean)
If Not IsNumeric(Me.txtBill.Value) Then
MsgBox "This needs to be a number", vbExclamation, "Input Error"
Me.txtBill.Value = ""
Cancel = True
End If
End Sub
