Drop the ControlSource and just populate the textbox via code:

Option Explicit
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
With Me.TextBox1
.Value = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("a1").Te xt
.Enabled = False
End With
End Sub

Have you thought of using a Label instead of a textbox?

Hello,

I have a TextBox in a Form that has the ControlSource property set to
read values from a Cell which has a formula.

I have set Enabled to "false" so that users cannot enter data in the
TextBox. (read-only from the cell)

Somehow the formula in the linked cell is replaced by the value. Looks
like the textbox is pushing the value to the cell.

How can I prevent the TextBox to put any value into the LinkedCell.
(It should just display whatever value is in the linked cell not not
clear the formula)

Thankyou.
