SYMPTOMS
When you run a WordBasic macro that displays a user dialog, a general protection (GP) fault may occur after you press TAB. The macro in the "More Information" section below in this article demonstrates this behavior.

CAUSE
This happens if the focus switches to a text control in the user dialog when you press TAB.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0 and 6.0a for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION
The macro below demonstrates this behavior.

IMPORTANT: If you run this macro, a GP fault will occur on your computer and you may lose unsaved data in any open applications.

Sub MAIN Begin Dialog UserDialog 285, 85, "No Focus on Text!", .DlgFunction OKButton 191, 58, 88, 21 Text 42, 15, 216, 13, "Don't Set the Focus to Text!", .sText End Dialog Dim dlg As UserDialog x = Dialog(dlg) End Sub
