Blocking Alphabetical Entries into Textboxes

[Shrout1]

There is an error on my form when a user makes an alphabetical entry into one of the text fields. I have it set to automatically run a calculation subroutine when all the required fields are filled in and so this is giving me grief.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hello Shrout,

Do you mean UserForm? If so, are you using a TextBox? Is the action from a CommandButton? If so, what is your CommandButton code and name of all objects in this association?

[Shrout1]

Yes - I'm using a userform and a textbox.

It isn't tied to a command button, it's tied to a textbox_Change routine. Basically, the value that is typed into the textbox is stored as a variable and then a sub is called up that checks if the other textboxes are filled.

If the others have values then the program starts doing math - something that letters will mess up :-p. I was hoping there was an easy way to lock a textbox from letters, but I've never heard of one...

Do a check as the numbers/text is entered
MD

eg


Private Sub TextBox1_Change()
If Not IsNumeric(TextBox1) Then MsgBox "Numbers Only"
End Sub

This will only allow numbers 0-9:



Private Sub TextBox1_KeyPress(ByVal KeyAscii As MSForms.ReturnInteger)
If KeyAscii < 48 Or KeyAscii > 57 Then
KeyAscii = 0
Beep
End If
End Sub


This will allow one decimal:



Private Sub TextBox1_KeyPress(ByVal KeyAscii As MSForms.ReturnInteger)
Dim x As Integer
Dim y As String
If KeyAscii < 46 Or KeyAscii > 57 Or KeyAscii = 47 Then
KeyAscii = 0
Beep
End If
If KeyAscii = 46 Then
y = TextBox1.Text
For x = 1 To Len(y)
If Mid(y, x, 1) = "." Then KeyAscii = 0
Next x
End If
End Sub

Thanks! I'll give this a try
