I have a created a financial model which includes TextBoxes for the use
to input certain assumptions. If the user does not input a number i
TextBoxes, which are inserted in the spreadsheet, the program creates
error. For example, if the user enters ".50" it works fine but if th
user enters "..50" by accident it causes a debug error. How can
protect from this happening?

Thank

Hi
You may use the IsNumeric function together with the AfterUpdate event of
your textbox:
Private Sub TextBox1_AfterUpdate()
If TextBox1 < "" And Not IsNumeric(TextBox1) Then
MsgBox "Number expected here!" & vbLf & "please try again"
TextBox1.Text = ""
End If
End Sub

Dim cDots As Long

Private Sub txtRank_Change()
