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 Boolean
Private Sub TextBox1_Exit(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean)
OnlyText
Cancel = bNumbers
End Sub
Private 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 If
End Sub
As with any UserForm Control code, this code must reside in the Private Module of the UserForm Object
