Jim,
Thanks again.

I got an invalid use of ME error & modified code. The textbox is on the
firstpage of a 2 page muultipage on top of a userform.

With UserForm1.MultiPage1
'Make the second page active
..Value = 0
..Pages(0).Text1.SetFocus
End With

I'm guessing that 0 is the index of the first page as I had error 438 (obj
does not supp..)when .value was 1 and error 2110 with .pages(1)

I dont get errors with code shown but dont get focus in textbox either.
What is weird is when I use Tab key - the focus goes to textbox2 which is the
next tab order.
