Hi,
Can you give some pointers please.
I have a userform on a worksheet then opens automatically when you visit the page.

Ive looked for this set focus code but dont find it anywhere.
Can this be written another way as opposed to set focus.

I just cant seem to find where its being controlled.

Thanks

Test for Multiple Conditions in IF?
Use AND(test, test, test, test) or OR(test, test, test, ...) as the logical_test argument of IF.
When i right click and view code on userform i see the following,

Code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()    Dim i As Integer
    Dim ControlsArr As Variant, ctrl As Variant
    Dim x As Long
    For i = 1 To 6
       With Me.Controls("ComboBox" & i)
            If .ListIndex = -1 Then
                MsgBox "MUST SELECT ALL OPTIONS", 48, "CLONING TRANSFER SHEET"
                .SetFocus
                Exit Sub
            End If
        End With
    Next i
    
    ControlsArr = Array(Me.ComboBox1, Me.ComboBox2, Me.ComboBox3, Me.ComboBox4, Me.ComboBox5, Me.ComboBox6)
    
    With ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("CLONING")
        .Range("A4").EntireRow.Insert Shift:=xlDown
        .Range("A4:F4").Borders.Weight = xlThin
        For i = 0 To UBound(ControlsArr)
         Select Case i
            Case 3
               .Cells(4, i + 1) = Val(ControlsArr(i))
               ControlsArr(i).Text = ""
            Case Else
               .Cells(4, i + 1) = ControlsArr(i)
               ControlsArr(i).Text = ""
         End Select
    Next i
    End With
    
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    With Sheets("CLONING")
        If .AutoFilterMode Then .AutoFilterMode = False
        x = .Cells(.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
        .Range("A3:F" & x).Sort key1:=Range("A4"), order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlGuess
    End With
    ActiveWorkbook.Save
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
    Sheets("CLONING").Range("A4").Select
    MsgBox "Database Has Been Updated", vbInformation, "SUCCESSFUL MESSAGE"
    Unload CloningForm
End Sub

Hi,
I am still looking for this error but so far no joy.
Below is the two sets of information to assist you if i may.

When i come to worksheet CLONING a userform opens up.
The Focus is set on ComboBox1

Here is the code

Code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()    Dim i As Integer
    Dim ControlsArr As Variant, ctrl As Variant
    Dim x As Long
    For i = 1 To 6
       With Me.Controls("ComboBox" & i)
            If .ListIndex = -1 Then
                MsgBox "MUST SELECT ALL OPTIONS", 48, "CLONING TRANSFER SHEET"
                .SetFocus
                Exit Sub
            End If
        End With
    Next i
    
    ControlsArr = Array(Me.ComboBox1, Me.ComboBox2, Me.ComboBox3, Me.ComboBox4, Me.ComboBox5, Me.ComboBox6)
    
    With ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("CLONING")
        .Range("A4").EntireRow.Insert Shift:=xlDown
        .Range("A4:F4").Borders.Weight = xlThin
        For i = 0 To UBound(ControlsArr)
         Select Case i
            Case 3
               .Cells(4, i + 1) = Val(ControlsArr(i))
               ControlsArr(i).Text = ""
            Case Else
               .Cells(4, i + 1) = ControlsArr(i)
               ControlsArr(i).Text = ""
         End Select
    Next i
    End With
    
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    With Sheets("CLONING")
        If .AutoFilterMode Then .AutoFilterMode = False
        x = .Cells(.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
        .Range("A3:F" & x).Sort key1:=Range("A4"), order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlGuess
    End With
    ActiveWorkbook.Save
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
    Sheets("CLONING").Range("A4").Select
    MsgBox "Database Has Been Updated", vbInformation, "SUCCESSFUL MESSAGE"
    Unload CloningForm
End Sub

When i come to the worksheet called SKPLIST my userform opens up.
Nothing has the set focus & i would like it also to be set on ComboBox1

Here is the code.

Code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()    Dim i As Integer
    Dim ControlsArr As Variant, ctrl As Variant
    Dim x As Long
    For i = 1 To 6
       With Me.Controls("ComboBox" & i)
            If .ListIndex = -1 Then
                MsgBox "MUST SELECT ALL OPTIONS", 48, "SKP IMMO LIST TRANSFER"
                .SetFocus
                Exit Sub
            End If
        End With
    Next i
    
    ControlsArr = Array(Me.ComboBox1, Me.ComboBox2, Me.ComboBox3, Me.ComboBox4, Me.ComboBox5, Me.ComboBox6)
    
    With ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("SKPLIST")
        .Range("A4").EntireRow.Insert Shift:=xlDown
        .Range("A4:F4").Borders.Weight = xlThin
        For i = 0 To UBound(ControlsArr)
         Select Case i
            Case 1, 2, 4
               .Cells(4, i + 1) = IIf(IsNumeric(ControlsArr(i)), Val(ControlsArr(i)), ControlsArr(i))
            Case Else
               .Cells(4, i + 1) = ControlsArr(i)
               ControlsArr(i).Text = ""
         End Select
    Next i
    End With
    
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    With Sheets("SKPLIST")
        If .AutoFilterMode Then .AutoFilterMode = False
        x = .Cells(.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
        .Range("A3:F" & x).Sort key1:=Range("A4"), order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlGuess
    End With
    ActiveWorkbook.Save
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
    Sheets("SKPLIST").Range("A4").Select
    MsgBox "Database Has Been Updated", vbInformation, "SUCCESSFUL MESSAGE"
    Unload SkpImmoListForm
End Sub

Thanks for your time & can you advise why or how do i set focus on ComboBox1 on the SKPLIST

When your userform first opens up, unless specified in the initialization macro, the focus will be set according to the first item in the forms tab order.

In design mode, right click on the userform and select tab order.
