I have an exit macro on a Word form field to undertake a validation of the input. In the event of an error I use the .select to set the focus back to the field, however, this does not work as it seems to execute the tab key press subsequent to the function return and takes it onto the next field. <br />

How do I ignore the key event to get the focus back onto the field that has the error?<br />

Validate an MS Word form field

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
