Userform TextBox

[Guest]

Hiya,

This is my code;

Private Sub OKButton_Click()

' Make sure a name is entered
If TextName.Text = "" Then
MsgBox "You must enter a valid numeric value."
TextName.SetFocus
Exit Sub

End If

If TextName.Text > ActiveCell.Offset(-1, 0) Then
MsgBox "Value cannot be greater than hours in the day!"
TextName.Text = ""
TextName.SetFocus
Exit Sub

End If

' Transfer the name
ActiveCell = TextName.Text

'

' Clear the controls for the next entry
TextName.Text = ""
TextName.SetFocus
End Sub

My problem is the second test that checks the value entered, if it is
greater than the offset cell then msg box appears and the value is rejected,
If offest cell value is say 7.5, and I enter 8.0 then value is rejected as
it should, but if I enter 10 then the value is accepted, but it should be
rejected is value is still greater than offset cell, But I can't figure out
why.

Where am I going wrong?

Any help is very much appricated.

Regards

Laddie

You need to change TextName.Text it is a string. I think you want is
val(TextName.txt) which will convert the number which is a string to an
actual numnber.

If CDbl(TextName.Text) > ActiveCell.Offset(-1, 0) Then

Thanks to Both Joel & Bob,

Bob ,

If CDbl(TextName.Text) > ActiveCell.Offset(-1, 0) Then

What does CDbl actually do?
