on the text, it would erase everything out of the textbox. TIA for th
help

Not exactly.

What it was, for example when my userform pops up, TextBox1 say
"HH:MM" and when you click on the textbox, it would automatically clea
out the "HH:MM" inorder for the user to put in the actual "01:30".
Simply, it's for entering a time, but I wanted the person that gets th
userform to know which format to insert it in.

Thanks again for your help

What I suggested will work okay for you, but with one important caveat.

To display the HH:MM in the first textboxd, you have to ensure that it
doesn't take the focus when the form is activated. Maybe put a hidden
control on the form and give that a TabIndex of 0.

Possibly you could use two controls;
One label covering the text box which goes invisible on clicking it to
reveal
the textbox under it.
