UserForm buttons require 2 clicks

[donbowyer]

I use Win XP & Word 2003

I have 2 userforms in Word associated with macros, which work OK.
They have ComboBoxes and OK & Cancel buttons.
Suddenly all these controls, on both forms, now need two mouse clicks (not a
double-click) to operate them rather than one click which is correct.
Otherwise the forms work OK.
Something must have crept in to cause this, but I can't spot it.
Help please

It usually means you're switching back and forth between the two forms. If
one form is active, then it takes two clicks to do something on the other:
one to activate the form, the second to do the actual command click. To test
if this is what's happening, put a debug.print statement in the form
activate events. See if it happens after the first and before the second
click.

I have a similar problem, but only 1 UserForm. The form has an 'Apply'
button to update fields in the Word document using VBA code.

After running the 'Apply' code, 2 clicks are required to operate the
first button (e.g. 'OK', 'Cancel').

At the end of the 'Apply' procedure:
- "Me" is back to being the UserForm
- I can set the focus to the 'OK' button
- Calling the UserForm_Apply event does not help

How can I make the UserForm active so it only takes 1 click to operate
buttons?

You shouldn't need to set the focus away from the form to update fields. Are
you using the Selection object, perhaps? -- if so, fix your code so you
don't.
