Text Box Data Validation
 

I have some text boxes on a form that I want the user to be limited to only
numeric entry. I found this code in an earlier thread:

Private Sub TextBox1_KeyDown(ByVal KeyCode As _
MSForms.ReturnInteger, ByVal Shift As Integer)
If Shift = 2 Then
If KeyCode = 86 Then KeyCode = 0
End If
End Sub


Private Sub TextBox1_KeyPress(ByVal KeyAscii _
As MSForms.ReturnInteger)
Select Case KeyAscii
Case 46
If InStr(TextBox1.Text, ".") 0 Then _
KeyAscii = 0
Case 48 To 57
Case Else
KeyAscii = 0
End Select
End Sub


This works great, but I need decimal entries to be allowed as well, and when
the user presses the "." key an error is returned. Since I'm fairly new at
this, and completely in the dark about limiting key entries, I need some help!

Hi dutty,

Something like this should work:

Private Sub TextBox1_KeyPress(ByVal KeyAscii _
As MSForms.ReturnInteger)
If Not ((KeyAscii = Asc("0") And _
KeyAscii <= Asc("9")) Or (KeyAscii = Asc(".") _
And InStr(TextBox1.Text, ".") = 0)) Then
Interaction.Beep
KeyAscii = 0
End If
End Sub
