I have written the following code with works as expected when the user presses the Add button. The data from the userform is added to the table within the workbook and then an external workbook is opened and specific textbox values are added to a table in that workbook, then it is saved and closed then the focus is back on the userform in the current workbook after clearing the textboxes.

This works perfectly the first time but then when it comes back to the userform to add another record the "Enter" function or "Tab" function to move through the textboxes won't work. At this point all I can do is click using my mouse through the fields or close the form and launch it again. Could you take a look at my code and see what I need to change to this will stop happening.....many thanks.

Code:
Private Sub cmd_add_Click()
    Dim answer As String
    With txt_hrsran
        If txt_hrsran.Value <> txt_hrstotal.Value Then
            answer = MsgBox("Your Hours Actually Ran amount must equal the Total Hours amount for the products" & _
                    vbNewLine & "Please modify your input", vbOKOnly + vbCritical, "ERROR")
        Exit Sub
        End If
     End With
    
    If txt_total.Value > "" Then AddData
    If txt_total.Value > "" Then AddDataDashboard
    ClearData
End Sub
