Set Focus on ActiveX Text Box after Validation

NobodysPerfect · #1 06-27-2015, 07:40 AM

Hi to all.

I have to validate an ActiveX text box (no problem), but as the text box is obligatory the focus shall be (re)set to the text box if empty (problem).

Using the '_LostFocus' event in Excel the single line …

Code:

If Me.TextBox1.Value = "" Then Me.TextBox1.Activate

… does the job.

In Word the code is executed, but the focus doesn't change all. Whatever object will be selected to 'lose focus' it remains selected.

Any idea which code line(s) might (re)set the focus.

Thanks for your help
