I have hundreds of text boxes on a user form.

For each text box I need to run the following traps on Exit and
BeforeUpdate to check user input and reset to old input if new input
does not meet requirements. I know I can run these traps as private
subs. By returning True or False I can trap the user or allow user to
continue inputting in the next text box.

The following works..
________

Private Sub TextBox1_Exit(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean)
Cancel = Chkinp(TextBox1)
End Sub
_________

________

Private Sub TextBox1_BeforeUpdate(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean)
Cancel = Chkinp(TextBox1)
End Sub
________

My question...

Must I duplicate the code for every TextBox? Or is a way to use "For
Each", a variable or something? If this code exists where would I put
this so it would be valid for the entire user form. (ie without creating
two new Private Subs for every text box).

Another thought, can I run this code on "active text box", would that
solve this the same way?

For exit and beforeupdate, you would need to duplicate it for each textbox.
