To count all of the characters (including spaces) in a UserForm Textbox, I
can use:

Len(UserForm1.DayList.Text)

Is there a way to just count the number of characters that are in the first
line of that textbox?

Thanks,
Paul

If the lines of text in the text box are separated by line break characters,
you could use code like

Dim Pos As Integer
Me.TextBox1.Text = "first line" & vbNewLine & _
"second line"
Pos = InStr(1, Me.TextBox1.Text, vbNewLine)
If Pos 0 Then
MsgBox "Line 1 Length: " & Pos - 1
End If

If there are no line break characters, I don't think you can parse out just
the first line.

Paul,
Can you use a fixed-width font, then calculation would be possible.
