This is probably a stupid question, but in the properties window for a
textbox, how do you designate the cell that you want the data entered
into the textbox to go to?

A text box does not have a linked cell, which I think you are thinking
about.

A decent question would be why would you want a user to enter text into a
text box which would then be transferred to a cell. Why not just have the
user enter the text directly into the 'target' cell?

I am trying to keep the user from touching the spreadsheet data at all.
I figured it out. Thanks though.

But it does have a .ControlSource property.

I used an "add" button to put all the value entered in the text box
into a certain cell on the spreadsheet when executed.

I like that idea. It would eliminate the possibility of a unwanted change to
the textbox/cell.

But I was responding to EA and his/her comment about the linked cell.
