SYMPTOMS
In the Visual Basic Editor, when you click Design Mode on the Standard toolbar to activate design mode, an Exit Design Mode floating toolbar may appear. If you then click Exit Design Mode (on the Exit Design Mode toolbar), the focus switches to Microsoft Excel.



RESOLUTION
To prevent this behavior from occurring, click Exit Design Mode on the Standard toolbar. Clicking this button exits design mode, hides the Exit Design Mode toolbar, and keeps the focus on the Visual Basic Editor.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
