I have a UserForm with the first TextBox that if any text is entered then two new textbooks become visible. The problem is that I cannot get the Focus to move to the first of these just visible Textboxes. I have tried many things but unsuccessfully. Any help or ideas would be welcomed.
My simplified code is:

Option Explicit


Private Sub TextBox1_Exit(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean)
If TextBox1.Value <> "" Then
TextBox2.Visible = True
TextBox3.Visible = True
End If
End Sub


Private Sub TextBox2_Exit(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean)
Debug.Print "TextBox2_Exit ", TextBox2
End Sub


Private Sub TextBox3_Exit(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean)
Debug.Print "TextBox3_Exit ", TextBox3
End Sub


Private Sub TextBox4_Exit(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean)
Debug.Print "TextBox4_Exit ", TextBox4
End Sub


Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
TextBox1.Value = ""
TextBox2.Value = ""
TextBox3.Value = ""
TextBox4.Value = ""
TextBox2.Visible = False
TextBox3.Visible = False
TextBox1.SetFocus
End Sub

Thanks

Which Excel functions can ignore hidden rows?
The SUBTOTAL and AGGREGATE functions ignore hidden rows. AGGREGATE can also exclude error cells and more.
Have you tried putting the visibility code in the Change event?
Code:
Private Sub TextBox1_Change()
    TextBox2.Visible = (TextBox1.Value <> "")
    TextBox3.Visible = (TextBox1.Value <> "")
End Sub

Thanks for your quick reply. That works fine in my simplified test so I'll now try it in the full code.
I have been trying for hours to fix this so I really appreciate your help.

Yes it works in my full code.
How did you know this, is there something i've missed in learning VBA?
Thanks again
