By default the userformm.Show method displays the form in Modal mode.

Display the form as modeless
eg using YourUsefromeName.Show False


This will allow you to change focus from and back to the form.

Hope this Helps.

Definition:
MODAL forms are forms which require user input before any other
actions can be taken place. In other words, a modal form has exclusive
focus in that application until it is dismissed. When showing a modal
form, the controls outside this modal form will not take user
interaction until the form is closed. The internal MsgBox and InputBox
forms are examples of modal forms.
