Default Validating number of characters in textbox


Hi. I want to validate the data entry on a textbox so that a message box
appears if the user inputs a reference less than 7 digits long. (part of
a form which adds a new record to the sheet) I've set the textbox to
maxlength of 7 but can't get the code right. Please could someone
assist. Here is what I have so far which doesn't work:

If not TextBox1.MaxLength Then
MsgBox "The entry has to be 7 digits long"
TextBox1.SetFocus
Exit Sub
End If

Thank you.
