unexpected cursor behavior while attempting to control tab order intextboxes and comboboxes on a spr

[dan dungan]

Hi,

Windows 2000 professional, Excel 2000

When I type in textbox4 or textbox 7, every other character
is deleted when I press tab or enter, so if I type AB [enter],
only "A" shows in the textbox.

Textbox 3 has behavior that I expect. If I type "ABC" [enter],
then "ABC" is what shows in the textbox.

I have 10 comboboxes and textboxes placed on
a worksheet, not a userform:

Part Number combobox1
Connector Code textbox2
Customer Ref Number textbox3
Competitor Part Number textbox4
Customer combobox5
Formula combobox6
Shell Size textbox7
Entry Size textbox8
Chain combobox9
Mod Code combobox10

I don't see this behavior with the comboboxes using
similar code.

Here's the code for each text box mentioned above and
for the first combobox on the sheet.

Please offer any insight how to improve this attempt at controlling
tab order on textboxes and comboboxes.

Private Sub combobox1_KeyDown(ByVal KeyCode As MSForms.ReturnInteger,
ByVal Shift As Integer)
Application.Calculate
'Part Number-This is the field to type the part number we're quoting
'I named these objects by object type and tab order number.
'Add functionality to the Enter, Tab and Backspace keys
Select Case KeyCode
Case 9 'Tab Move Cursor to Connector Code or Reference Part
Number with shift
If CBool(Shift And 1) Then
TextBox4.BackColor = RGB(152, 255, 152)
TextBox4.Activate
Else
TextBox2.BackColor = RGB(152, 255, 152)
TextBox2.Activate
Application.Calculate
End If
Case 13 'Enter Move Cursor to Connector Code or Reference Part
Number with shift
If CBool(Shift And 1) Then
TextBox4.BackColor = RGB(152, 255, 152)
TextBox4.Activate
Else
TextBox2.BackColor = RGB(152, 255, 152)
TextBox2.Activate
Application.Calculate
End If

Case 8 'Backspace
ComboBox1.SelText = ""
If ComboBox1.SelStart > 0 Then _
ComboBox1.SelStart = ComboBox1.SelStart - 1
ComboBox1.SelLength = Len(ComboBox1.Text) -
ComboBox1.SelStart
Application.Calculate
Case Else
' Do nothing


End Select
Application.Calculate
End Sub
