When my text box receives focus, what event occurs?
I need this to be able to undo user's changes.

Dim OldValue as String
'when TextBox receives focus
OldValue = TextBox1.Text
'when user decides to discard changes
TextBox1.Text = OldValue

Thanks in advance,

Where it the textbox. What type of control is it (Control toolbox Toolbar
or Drawing Toolbar)?

If on a worksheet and ActiveX/Control Toolbox Toolbar, then use the GotFocus
event.

Hi,

you could use the events of individual controls to achieve
this, but don't you find it a little unnatural? It seems
you are displaying a form to let the user edit something,
and the user should be able to choose to cancel. If I were
you I'd encapsulate the work into a single function
instead of bothering with individual control's events.

Using custom types this becomes very clean and simple. As
an example, let's assume we are editing a person in a
simple address book. Then the following should give you an
idea.

Type TPersonSettings
