Validating UserForm TextBox to Only Accept Text

If you are fairly comfortable with Excel VBA you will most likely want to design a UserForm to ensure correct use of your Spreadsheet. However, just placing some TextBoxes on a UserForm for users to enter data is sometimes not enough. For example, the TextBoxes may be intended to take only text data and not numbers. To do this you can use some code as shown below.

Dim bNumbers As BooleanPrivate Sub TextBox1_Exit(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean)    OnlyText    Cancel = bNumbersEnd SubPrivate Sub OnlyText()	If TypeName(Me.ActiveControl) = "TextBox" Then    	If ActiveControl = vbNullString Then Exit Sub        	If IsNumeric(ActiveControl) Then            	MsgBox "Sorry, text only"            	ActiveControl = vbNullString            	bNumbers = True        	End If        		End IfEnd Sub

As with any UserForm Control code, this code must reside in the Private Module of the UserForm Object
