To Set Focus To The RefEdit Control In Userform
I am trying to implement a simple userform using the RefEdit control.
So I have the RefEdit control and an Ok (which has code attached to it) and a Cancel commandbutton.
For some reason, I can't get the focus on the RefEdit control (i.e. when I activate the form, I have to actually click in the RefEdit box before it gets the cursor). Which property sets the focus in this control?
Right now I have the Ok button Default property set to True.
I have a commandbutton on the spreadsheet that activates the userform.

Set Range Variable To RefEdit Control
I'm trying to set up a userform with a refEdit box that allows the user to select a cell range. I then need to assign that cell range to a range variable so the macro can use it. I'm having a problem reconciling the assigned string variable that refEdit returns and the range variable that I need. So what I'm trying to say is that I can assign the range fine through the Userform, and I can see through the debugging screen that mySampleVariable (dim as a variant) holds a range value of 'Access Dump'!$A$8 (the correct range), but when I try to Dim myRange As Range Set myRange = mySampleVariable The code bugs out because it apparently can't assign a string value to a range variable.

Set Focus To TextBox On UserForm
On the summary page click on 'Enter Sale' and notice that Customer Advisor' text box gets the focus and the cursor is flashing. (Which is what I want). Enter any name and a sale value (say 'A' and '1') and click the 'OK' button But when I tried to enter another sale the OK button still had the focus. So in the VBA Project / Forms / frm_sale / OK Click event - near the bottom I added a set focus before the 'frm_sale.hide' - This removed the focus from the 'OK' box - but the cursor is still not in the text box, and it needs to be clicked in order to enter text. This is clearly something trivial I am missing - but the blinkers are on and I cant spot it

Set Focus To A Textbox When Userform Opens
I'm creating a userform for editing membership records of a small organisation. So I want the focus to default to textbox tboxFind which is used for searching the data. I've put tboxFind first in the tab order, and in subroutine Userform_Initialize, the last line is tboxFind.SetFocus Using Excel2000 on Windows Vista, it works OK. Opening the same workbook in Excel2000 on WinXP, no textbox has the focus when the form opens, but once the user has started to use the form, the focus defaults back to tboxFind, as it should. So why is the focus not where it should be when the form opens in WinXP?

Set Focus To Application After Hiding UserForm
I created UserForm with one TextBox and "Close" Button. And it's works like a real-time search with my criteria. He is using AutoFilter to show what he found. And when I'm pressing Close Button the Focus isn't on Application, but on Hidden window (know because when I'm clicking alt+space form's menu shows). To show window I'm using (running from hot-key): DoCmd.OpenForm "UserForm1" to hide Private Sub CloseButton_Click() UserForm1.Hide End Sub

Set Focus Of Cursor In TextBox On UserForm Show
I'm having some trouble setting up my Userform. It's used for someone to insert a password to open up some sheets. I have it working except for 2 problems. First off it gets started by a sub which has a shortcut key, CTRL + W. When it opens I would like the TextBox to be ready to be typed on... and I would like the submit button ready for Enter. So when it opens, you just type in the password really quick and press enter without using the mouse at all. The TextBox starts on the first try, but when I press cancel and then open the UserForm up again, then the cancel command is still selected and I have to select on the textbox. There is 3 things on this userform... TextBox1, CommandButton1, CommandButton2. All I want is for the TextBox always to show up ready for typing, and the Submit(CommandButton1) to always be ready to press enter.

Refedit Control In Worksheet
I would like to use the RefEdit control in a worksheet in order to select a range of cells and pass its address to a different cell without code. I thought of using the LinkedCell property of the RefEdit as I used it for a ComboBox.

Get Range Specified In Refedit Control
I have built a user form that amongst it's other functions displays the results from three cells on one worksheet. The values in these cells need to be pasted in three cells on a different worksheet (cells are selected by user using a "RefEdit" field on the form. The VBA help files offer a single example of the paste special method (I've proven I can paste to the celss but of course that pastes the formula rather than the value!) that shows it operating on a single worksheet as follows: With Worksheets("Sheet1") .Range("C1:C5").Copy .Range("D1:D5").PasteSpecial _ Operation:=xlPasteSpecialOperationAdd End With So, simple question... How can I use the Paste Special method to paste the values of the cells in cells specified by the user?

Refedit Control Failing In 2007

RefEdit Control To Click On The Desired Range
I am using a refEdit control on a userform to get a range from the user (they use the refEdit control to click on the desired range). My problem is that the user typically has 3 or 4 different workbooks open and if one of them is maximized withing Excel, the user is unable to get to them to select the range (only the maximized workbook is displayed and usable). Is there a way around this?

Control Losing Focus Switching Applications
I'm using a VBA UserForm (ShowModal=False) as the front-end on a spreadsheet for logging purposes. Here's the progression of the problem: 1. I have the UserForm loaded and the cursor is in any given textbox/ combobox on the form. 2. I switch to another program, then come back to the UserForm. 3. The cursor no longer appears in whatever textbox/combobox I was in when I left the UserForm. If I type, nothing happens (I have to click the field again first, then type). However, if I TAB, it will go to the next field in the Tab Order just fine. It seems that the control has "pseudo-focus"--it knows which field to tab to next, but the control won't accept input unless you click it. The odd thing is--this UserForm has a button which launches another "child" UserForm. That "child" UserForm does not have this problem.

Set Focus, If Thats The Correct Code
I have a userform with several fields located in it. For the most part, it looks like a user information form, Name, Date,, stuff like that. There is a field that the user enters some information, and using the afterUpdate function for the field, it searches to see if the value is unique. The problem is that when I tab from that field, if the value is not unique, I want the cursor placed back in that field (textbox). SetFocus doesn't seem to do what I want, unless I am using it incorrectly.

Change Sheet Focus From UserForm
I've got a userform for entering data in a workbook with sheets for each month. ie: Jan'06 , Feb'06, etc. I've added a combobox that looks at my list of these sheets and when a certain month is chosen I would like that months sheet to come up behind the userform, so that the data is entered there when the form is completed. The other option is to not change the sheet focus but to direct the data to the appropriate sheet based on the combo box. (No matter what sheet is currently selected) On a related note, I have a text box showing the last date entered and I would like to make shure that it is updated based on the sheet selected in the combobox.

Return Focus To Sheet While Still Displaying A UserForm
I have a spread sheet where i want to display help text when cells are activated. I do not want to use comments as i both do not like the red triangle and also have not found a way to controll the position of the text box. When I use the event Worksheet_SelectionChange I can display a custom box but the box "retains focus" and i can not enter the data until i "reclick" on the cell in the sheet. The box then goes away when i select another cell. Is there a way to fix this or a different method entirely. I am using Excel 2007.

Focus Activecell After Display Of Modeless Userform
I am using a technique to display a modeless userform to display to the user that the cell data validation has failed (or not) after checking cell data entry (with checks coded as required). I am using this method for a number of reasons - - enables more flexibility and more characters over that of in cell data validation error messages - to reduce repeat of validation data (to reduce file size) as worksheet has large qty of rows with large qty of columns with variation of validation requirements for each column. But in the event that data is invalid (fails validation), once the modeless userform is displayed, i want the focus to be on the current cell, not the userform, otherwise the user will always have to click the worksheet to to get focus to enable entry to cell of corrected data.

Force Focus Back: Pop Up A Userform To Provide Instructions And Collect Some Additional Data From The User
I'm working on a spreadhseet which has several macros that can take up to 5 minutes to run. When the macro(s) complete, I pop up a userform to provide instructions and collect some additional data from the user. The "problem" is that when the user moves to another application to do other work, the user form remains hidden behind the active app. I've added some text to the status bar to let the users know the processing is done, but they would like something more obvious - so, is there any way I can force focus back to Excel?

Set Control Visibility Based On Tag Property
I have a userform which uses the tag property of the frame to determine whether a frame is visible (and hence the controls that reside within the frame). A frame contains three combo boxes, and six text boxes. The tag property of the frame matches the number of frames that are visible on the form, so that if the user selects five frames, frames 1 through five become visible and for all other frames visible = false. A frame contains all the data for a single entry. There can be up to fifty frames/ entries that are visible on the form depending on the user selection. I want to use the visibility property to do two things: first the combo boxes are filled from an array after the user selects the number of frames (or entries). I only want to fill the comboboxes where the frame is visible. The second thing is that I have a function which uses the data from the text boxes and combo boxes as required arguments. Since these are required arguments, I will get a data mismatch error if I try to call it and the controls are empty. Therefore, I only want to call the function if the frame which houses the controls is visible. Public Sub Visible1(Entry As String) Dim ctrl As Control For Each ctrl In UserForm2.Controls If TypeName(ctrl) = "Frame" And ctrl.Tag <= Entry Then With ctrl .Visible = True End With Else If TypeName(ctrl) = "Frame" And ctrl.Tag > Entry Then With ctrl .Visible = False.............

With Userform1.Toolbar1.button("x") .image/picture/faceid = “x” .action = "macro1" end with I've looked for ages on the board but can only find threads on creating toolbars in the application, not on userforms.

Cursor Control With Userform
I have created a simpel userform that shows sales total and it is activated [.show function] whenever an entry is made in the order column. All of this works fine. The only problem I have is that the curser jumps in to the text box and doesn't return to the order column where next entry needs to be made. How do you move the curser out of the userform, back to the activesheet? Ideally it should move to the next cell for the user to make entry. I am attaching my sample file here. It has some odd things that I was just playing around with as learning experience. But the main question is how to control the curser.
