Hi all,
I have a textbox on my userform and neeeeed it formatted. When the user
enters it I want them to enter a 10 digit number only but also have it
display a '-' in the middle of the number.
for example,
#####-##### (the textbox should always display the '-' in the middle of
the textbox. Is this possible? I have previously tried:
Code:
--------------------
txtPartno.Text = Format(txtPartno.Text, "#####-#####")
--------------------
but have had no joy, any help would be much appreciated.
Taa in advance!

Possibly not the most elegant method, but this will put a - immediately
after the 5th character in TextBox1
Private Sub TextBox1_Change()
If Len(TextBox1.Text) = 5 Then TextBox1.Text = TextBox1.Text & "-"
End Sub

Hi again,
Thanks for the promt reply! I have tried what you have suggested and
works quite well. I'm not sure if it can be done in VBA, but is there a
way of using an activex control to mask the textbox? I may have seen
somewhere on the web that it can be done in VB6?!
Does anyone know how to do it in VBA?
Thanks Again!

I'm confused by your response as my suggestion IS in VBA.

gti_jobert wanted to know if he/she can mask the textbox so that the format can
be "built-in".
Excel's textboxes don't support this.
