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.
