Hi

How can you restrict users from only entering numbers in a
textbox; and if text was entered a error message will be
displayed.

Thanks

Sham,

Assuming a userform, this will do as you ask

Private Sub TextBox1_BeforeUpdate(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean)
With Me.TextBox1
If Not IsNumeric(.Text) Then
.SelStart = 0
.SelLength = Len(.Text)
.SetFocus
Cancel = True
MsgBox "Invalid data"
End If
End With
End Sub

An alternative is to trap the input, and only allow numerics

Private Sub TextBox1_KeyPress(ByVal KeyAscii As MSForms.ReturnInteger)
If KeyAscii < 48 Or KeyAscii 57 Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
KeyAscii = 0
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If
End Sub
