I have a combobox that is used is used to choose a test case. The user can use the mouse to select from a list or type in a number from the list. If the form loses focus while the cursor is in that combo box, upon return the user is now only able to select with the mouse, the keyboard has no effect on the combo box UNTIL the control loses focus and then regains it.

Any ideas?
I can't find any "focus" events for the form in excel vba...

Hi,
Look in help for 'Setfocus' this should give you the info you need.

it appears that with excel vba setfocus only applies to controls on a form and not the form itself.
