I have several textboxes on several userforms that I want to test the
contents of the textboxes to ensure a properly formatted price is entered like this "#,###.##" or "####.##". This is the Sub that I use for that and it works great. My question is, is there a easier way or cleaner coded way to do this? Sub ValidatePrice(strPrice As String, strControlName As String) ' is called to ensure proper format of a price entered in a textbox Dim strChars As String ' format price first strPrice = Format(strPrice, "#,###.00") ' remove unwanted characters (myChars) from price strChars = "$, " For i = 1 To Len(strChars) strPrice = Replace(strPrice, Mid(strChars, i, 1), "") Next i ' ensure first number is 1-9 If Not Left(strPrice, 1) Like "[1-9]" Then GoTo InvalidPrice End If ' "." should be in the thrid position ####.## If Mid(strPrice, Len(strPrice) - 2, 1) < "." Then GoTo InvalidPrice End If ' scan each positon in Price string except position where period ' to ensure position value is numeric For i = Len(strPrice) To 1 Step -1 If i < Len(strPrice) - 2 And Not Mid(strPrice, i, 1) Like "[0-9]" Then GoTo InvalidPrice End If Next i Exit Sub InvalidPrice: StopCode = True strPrompt = "Problem" intButtons = vbCritical strTitle = "Please enter a valid price for " & strControlName & " in this format: #,###.##" MsgBox strTitle, intButtons, strPrompt End Sub -- Cheers, Ryan |
