Thank You for the response Jim,

I understand I cannot move the cursor in between textboxes, I tried
creating a Userform looks like a VBE form in Excel, by then when I close the
Excel sheet and Open it again I am not able to view the Userform, I can only
view the sheet, to view the Userform I need to go to VisualBasic ToolBar and
Click on Design. My aim is to save the Excel sheet as a Template where
others can use this DataEntry form to enter data, however If I am not able to
view the UserForm when I open this Template then I Cannot help my People,
Please provide me a Solution.

Thank You,

It is not possible to set focus to a control on a worksheet. Users will
have to click the control they want to use. If you require that kind of
functionality you'd have to create your form on a user form in the VBE.
Userforms are quite similar to the forms you're used to in standalone VB.

When I design 'forms' on a worksheet I use the cells for typed input as much
as possible so that tabbing between input cells is possible.

You do have to write some code to open the userform it is true. But the
code is extremely simple:

Sub ShowForm()
Userform1.Show
End Sub

You could attach this to a button on the worksheet so the user can click it
to open the form. Also you could call this macro from the workbook open
event handler (Sub Workbook_Open) in the ThisWorkbook module to have it
called automatically when the workbook is opened. Naturally the user has to
enable macros for any of this to work.
