You cannot gave the macro in the textbox.change as it will do exactly what you say. i.e. Each digit
is a change to the text box. One solution would be to add a command button to the form and move
your macro to work when the comman button is pressed

Hi,

I intend to get data (in short date format "13-Apr-2004") using txtbox
in a userform.

I tried this code:

Private Sub txtSheet_Change()
' Guarda el numero de Sheet a Importar
Dim Sh As Variant
Sh = Format(txtSheet.Value, dd - mmm - yyyy)
MsgBox "Sheet value=" & Sh
End Sub

but MsgBox apperars inmediatly after each digit.

How can I make nothing appens until I get all the 11 digits, and how
making sure that data will be only in short date format (dd-mmm-yyyy)
?

Thanks.
