Question about restriction

[cadets45]

How do you make it so that you can type backspace in a textbox after you've limited the textbox to only numbers.

Thanks

Use the keypress method on the field in qustion to run the following (the second if statement should be modified if you don't want the user to enter "," or "." characters)




If KeyAscii< Asc("0") Or KeyAscii> Asc("9") Then
If KeyAscii = Asc(",") Or KeyAscii = Asc(".") Or KeyAscii = 8 Then
'nothing, we will allow these characters
Else 'the user has pressed some key other than 0-9 or "," or "." or backspace
KeyAscii = 0 ' cancel the character
field.SelStart = 0
field.SelLength = Len(field)
Beep
End If
End If

Look into the MaxLength property also.
