Well, u could check on the textbox_change() sub that the character being entered is valid. By checking for the ascii codes. This would only allow all numbers (0-9), space and the hyphen (-). As for the double spacing, you could either check when the textbox loses focus by searching the textbox for " " (two spaces) or you could check while the user is typing; checks what the last character entered was and if it was a space, exit the sub if another space is pressed
