What I wish to accomplish is to count the number of characters in a text box and when the exceed a pre-determined number then enable a button.

ie. on a change count the number of char in the box

Private sub textbox1_change()
' count then number of char so far
if charactercount > 7 then
mybutton.enable = true
else:end if

Does this work?

Code: 
Private Sub TextBox1_change()
    If Len(TextBox1.Text) > 7 Then
        mybutton.Enabled = True
    End If
End Sub

Or how about this?

Code: 
Private Sub TextBox1_change()
    mybutton.Enabled = Len(TextBox1.Text) > 7
End Sub

Yes that works, I was making it much harder than needed.
