Hi. So I have a userform and let's say it has one textbox, a controlbutton1 and a controlbutton2.
controlbutton1.enabled = false
controlbutton2.enabled = true

at textbox_afterupdate (after pressing Enter or Tab), if the content of the textbox meets the requirements it sets controlbutton1.enabled to true.
The problem I'm having is every time the code gets executed it skips controlbutton1 and sets focus to controlbutton2.
I have tried setting focus (controlbutton1.setfocus) before exiting textbox_afterupdate, didn't work. And yes, the tab orders are correct: textbox (0), controbutton1 (1), controlbutton2 (2).

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
 

Excel Facts

Lock one reference in a formula
Need 1 part of a formula to always point to the same range? use $ signs: $V$2:$Z$99 will always point to V2:Z99, even after copying
AfterUpdate event occurs when focus reach new control.
If it's not necessary to use this event you can use KeyDown event. Here is example.
VBA Code:
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
    
    CommandButton1.Enabled = False
    CommandButton2.Enabled = True
    
End Sub

Private Sub TextBox1_KeyDown(ByVal KeyCode As MSForms.ReturnInteger, ByVal Shift As Integer)
    
    If KeyCode = 13 Or KeyCode = 9 And _
        TextBox1.Text = "requirement" Then
        CommandButton1.Enabled = True
    End If

End Sub

Genius, thank you.
