Thanks for replying.

In the MSForms object library, the Control object has a SetFocus
method, but the Page object doesn't. (The Page object doesn't have an
Activate method either.)

I'm still working on it, but at this stage, the error message I'm
getting (that the control's SetFocus method has failed because the
control is invisible) seems to indicate why my code works when the
user is looking at the page on which the control resides when clicking
the command button and fails when the user is looking at a different
page. It's a pity that it appears impossible to activate or set the
focus on a page as well as on a control.

So, Microsoft, please, (unless there's a different way), can we have a
SetFocus method for the Page object of a Multipage control?

Thanks, Nigel. I'll keep the group posted!
Geoff
