The Val function will not convert fractions to floating point values; it
will print the numerator only.

Hi,

Textboxes (unsurprisingly) return text so you need val

mynumber = Val(UserForm1.TextBox2.Value)

I cannot enter fractions in a TextBox and have them recognised as

If IsNumeric(UserForm1.TextBox2.Value) = False Then 'Quantity
MsgBox "Choose NUMERIC quantity. Transaction cancelled!", , "Company
Name"
End If

I am having trouble getting this to work in Excel 2007; Vista whereas
works
Excel 2003 XP.

Is there a better way or is it a machine setting problem rather than
Excel
(eg Universal Date settings etc)
Thanks B
