Apply code to predetermined textboxes

After some unsuccessful searching, I am wondering if there is a way to apply the same kind of coding to multiple textboxes. I have seen where one call apply code to ALL textboxes on a userform, but I want to apply the code to only specific textboxes.

On the userform I have 30 textboxes. Some I have restricted to numbers only, some letters only, others are a combination. All the letter only boxes are converted to UPPERCASE. Here is the code I use:

Code:
Private Sub TextBox8_Change()
'MAKE UPPER CASE
On Error Resume Next
TextBox8 = UCase(TextBox8)
On Error GoTo 0
End Sub

Now the question. Is there a way Without copying this 20 times and changing the textbox#, how would I apply this to textboxes 1,3,5,6,10,12, etc. only?

I'm ready to take my (code)monkeying to the next level. Thanks!
 
To respond to Mikerickson:

Did you rename the class module CommonTextBox?
Yes, I did. And I've double checked to be sure I copied everything correctly. Still no joy.

There is also an error exiting the userform I did not mention because I couldn't get the first part to work (yet).
Code:
For Each aCommonTbx In myTextBoxes
The error code is 424, Object required.

I'm still a ways from understanding the code but I'll keep trying.

Difference between two dates
Secret function! Use =DATEDIF(A2,B2,"Y")&" years"&=DATEDIF(A2,B2,"YM")&" months"&=DATEDIF(A2,B2,"MD")&" days"
To respond to Jaafer:

Your code works well, if I wanted to use UPPERCASE in every textbox. I was trying to limit the code to other those textboxes I had defined (Textbox1, Textbox4, Textbox12, etc.)

But it is good stuff and I'm sure I can use it in the future.

That's a big clue. I missed the declaration of the common variable in the userform's code module.
This is what should do in the uf code module

Code:
Option Explicit

[COLOR="Red"]Dim MyTextBoxes As New Collection[/COLOR]

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
    Dim oneTextBox As Variant
    Dim aCommonTbx As CommonTextBox
    Set MyTextBoxes = New Collection
    
    For Each oneTextBox In Array(TextBox1, TextBox3, TextBox4)

        Rem create new instance of CommonTextBox
        Set aCommonTbx = New CommonTextBox

        Rem assign userform text box to new instance
        Set aCommonTbx.aTxtBox = oneTextBox

        Rem save new instance in collection
        MyTextBoxes.Add aCommonTbx, Key:=oneTextBox.Name
        
        Rem housekeeping
        Set aCommonTbx = Nothing
    Next oneTextBox
End Sub

Private Sub UserForm_Terminate()
    Rem good practice of cleaning up user defined objects
    Dim aCommonTbx As CommonTextBox

    Rem de-instansize all the CommonTextBox objects
    For Each aCommonTbx In MyTextBoxes
        Set aCommonTbx = Nothing
    Next aCommonTbx

    Rem housekeeping
    Set MyTextBoxes = Nothing
End Sub

That did the trick. It's a lot to study but now it's a working model.

I did add the following code to the class module to limit input to letters only. In the textboxes that need other coding, I'll do those manually.


Code:
[SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]Select Case KeyAscii<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>[/FONT][/SIZE]
[SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]Case 0 To 64, 91 To 96, 123 To 127<o:p></o:p>[/FONT][/SIZE]
[SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]KeyAscii = vbNull<o:p></o:p>[/FONT][/SIZE]
[SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]End Select<o:p></o:p>[/FONT][/SIZE]

Thanks again mikerickson
