Default Setting Tab Index for Text Fields

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.
