all characters except '\' appear in textbox

How to put any character in a textbox EXCEPT the backslash ?

Do you need to remove all the "\" or do you want these to be left in a variable?

Try this to disallow a "\" from being entered into the TextBox:

Code:

---

Private Sub Text1_Change()
  Dim lPrevPos As Long
 
  If InStr(1, Text1.Text, "\") Then
      lPrevPos = Text1.SelStart - 1
      Text1.Text = Replace(Text1.Text, "\", vbNullString)
     
      If lPrevPos > Len(Text1.Text) Then
        Text1.SelStart = Len(Text1.Text)
      Else
        Text1.SelStart = lPrevPos
      End If
     
  End If
End Sub

Or can do something like this

Private Sub Text1_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
If KeyAscii = 92 Then
KeyAscii = 0
End If
End Sub

mlana,
That will work fine for regular typing into the TextBox, but is useless when the user pastes. My code disallows the undesired string completely, try it out ;)
