I have a simple form with two command buttons. The user votes for one
of two options by clicking the appropriate button. Currently, when the
form opens it appears that the first button has focus. I don't want
either button to have focus to avoid "leading" the user to one button
over the other.

How can I disable focus on the form?

Thanks.

John,
Add a Frame to the form and make it first in the tab order.
Do not place the buttons on it, but place it between the
two buttons and set its height (or width) to ~1.

Hi John,

Set the commandbutton with Tabstop = false
like :

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
CommandButton1.TabStop = False
End Sub
