I have a sheet (not userform) with many ActiveX textboxes and checkboxes. It's used as a checklist for equipment inspections that gets printed out.

Tabbing through the textboxes and checkboxes is hard coded on Sheet1 with:

Code:
Private Sub CheckBox1_KeyDown(ByVal KeyCode As MSForms.ReturnInteger, ByVal Shift As Integer)
   If KeyCode = vbKeyTab Then
       CheckBox2.Activate
   End If
End Sub

My issue is when I get to row 30 or so, it keeps tabbing, but the screen view doesn't move with the tabbing. I've tried CheckBox2.SetFocus but I get errors.

Code:
Private Sub CheckBox1_KeyDown(ByVal KeyCode As MSForms.ReturnInteger, ByVal Shift As Integer)
   If KeyCode = vbKeyTab Then
       CheckBox2.Activate
   End If
   CheckBox2.SetFocus
End Sub

VLOOKUP to Left?
Use =VLOOKUP(A2,CHOOSE({1,2},$Z$1:$Z$99,$Y$1:$Y$99),2,False) to lookup Y values to left of Z values.
Try...

Code:
Private Sub CheckBox1_KeyDown(ByVal KeyCode As MSForms.ReturnInteger, ByVal Shift As Integer)
   If KeyCode = vbKeyTab Then
       With CheckBox2
            .Activate
            ActiveWindow.ScrollRow = .TopLeftCell.Row
       End With
   End If
End Sub

Hope this helps!
