I have a Textbox on a Sheet and after the user types a 4 digit code into the Textbox, I want to trigger a procedure.

After that procedure is finished, I want to erase what was in the textbox and then have the user type more 4 digit codes. I want to put the cursor back in the Textbox after the previous code is erased. So far I have tried this ....

Private Sub TextBox_Change()

Dim CodeText As String 'code entered in
CodeText = Sheets("Sheet1").TextBox.Text

'Test whether 4 characters are captured
If Len(CodeText) = 4 Then

Call ProcessLastCode(CodeText)

'Clear the textbox and set the focus
Sheets("Sheet1").TextBox.Value = ""
Sheets("Sheet1").TextBox.SetFocus

End If
End Sub

The error message generated says that the object TextBox cannot accept the SetFocus method/property.

Please help.
 

Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
