.setfocus on userform not working

I have a userform that allows me to add a new employee to a sheet, which adds some info to the sheet itself and creates a new sheet with that employees name on it. After all this process I try to setfocus back to the userform on the first text box, just by using myform.txtbox.setfocus yet it doesn't seem to work. My userform is modeless as well. Any help would be great.

Sub AddEmployee()
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    
    clear
    
    Sheets(curSheet).Select
    
    MsgBox "Added Employee"
    
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
    
    FirstName.SetFocus
    
End Sub
