User Form - Not Allowing Certain Cells to be Selected via TA

[ElectricSkywalker]

A question on user forms:

Is there a way when using a UserForm to stop a Text Box being selected when someone tabs through the form.

I have one text box that is Actual Data and the other text box is Budget data (which I have a lookup linked to). The Budget Data is for display purposes only).

I have worked out to Stop someone from entering data into the cell, but I have not worked out how to stop the text box being highlighted when I tab through. IS THIS POSSIBLE?

thank you

I'm not sure if this will solve the problem the way you want, but you can give it a shot.

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim C As String
Dim R As String
C = "A"
R = "1"
Do Until R = "20"
If ActiveCell.Address = "$" & C & "$" & R Then
Range("B1").Activate
End If
R = Val(R) + 1
Loop
End Sub

This will keep anyone from selecting cells A1:A20

Does this help?

Set the Enabled property of the TextBox to False.

Andrew,

I ended up going to Properties and finding:

Tab Stop = False

I also had a look at what you offered, being the Enable Function.

They both work....but whats the difference????

The Enabled property specifies whether a control can receive the focus and respond to user-generated events. If False the user cannot interact with the control by using the mouse, keystrokes, accelerators, or hotkeys (including TAB).

The TabStop property indicates whether an object can receive focus when the user tabs to it. But if Enabled is True the user can still interact with the control eg by clicking it with the mouse.
