Tabkey not working in userform

[Southwick]

Using office mac 2004 os x 10.3.7

I found when using userforms created in previous versions,(office 98 for
Mac) that the tab key quit working. Also that just one cell has the focus
(insertion point) and that I could not tab out of it. Thinking it was maybe
an update issue, I created a new userform and found I had the same problem.
The arrow keys work as long as the text boxes are one above the other but
the ones side by side will not take the focus using the arrow keys. All of
the code seems to work otherwise, but that is not a "for sure". Is this a
bug or am I missing something. All the properties are set for tabindex etc.
Thanks
Dave

What's the value of the TabKeyBehavior property of all TextBoxes? When set
to True, it won't accept Tab to change focus. In v.X the default value is
False though, have they changed it in 04?

The values of the textbox TabKeyBehavior property are all set to false and I
believe this is the default. The version of office 2004 is 11.1.0 I was
thinking the update I installed today would cure the problem but now that I
think about it, my version was probably already updated due to the automatic
update feature. I am thinking of reinstalling off the disc and seeing what
happens. I will keep you posted and if anyone else has any ideas, I would be
glad to hear them

Just an update. The version on the disc is Office 2004 V 11.0.0 and going
back to it did not improve a thing.
