MSForms.ReturnInteger)
Select Case KeyAscii
Case 48 To 57, 65 To 70, 97 To 102

Hello NG,
I need to limit the input in a text box via the Key_Press

event in VBA.
I'm accepting input for hexadecimal to be converted to

Decimal and Binary
but I only the user to be able to input 0-9,a-f and A-F.
I can get a limit with using
If KeyAscii <48 OR KeyAscii 57 then KeyAscii = 0
This works but only for one set, either numbers or small

letter or Caps, but
not all.
Does anyone know how to make a set of character to use,

something like
(0123456789abcdefABCDEF)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Jim
