If the lines of text in the text box are separated by line break characters,
you could use code like

Dim Pos As Integer
Me.TextBox1.Text = "first line" & vbNewLine & _
"second line"
Pos = InStr(1, Me.TextBox1.Text, vbNewLine)
If Pos 0 Then
MsgBox "Line 1 Length: " & Pos - 1
End If

If there are no line break characters, I don't think you can parse out just
the first line.

To count all of the characters (including spaces) in a UserForm Textbox, I
can use:

Len(UserForm1.DayList.Text)

Is there a way to just count the number of characters that are in the
first line of that textbox?

Thanks,
Paul
