How to calculate loan payments in Excel?
Use the PMT function: =PMT(5%/12,60,-25000) is for a $25,000 loan, 5% annual interest, 60 month loan.
The new line character for a textbox is denoted by the constant vbCr or its equivalent value Chr(13). Therefore, we can use the Split function to return an array of lines based on vbCr as the delimiter. Then we can use Ubound to return the number of elements in the array, which represents the number of lines. However, since Split() returns a zero-based array, we'll need to add 1 to the result returned by Ubound. So, assuming that Sheet1 contains your ActiveX textbox, we would have the following...

Code:
Ubound(Split(Worksheets("sheet1").TextBox1.Value, vbCr))+1
Change the sheet name accordingly.

Hi Tony,

This should suffice hopefully:

Code:
Sub CountLines()

Dim wb As Workbook
Dim ws As Excel.Worksheet


Set wb = ThisWorkbook
Set ws = wb.Sheets(1)


LineCount = UBound(Split(ws.Shapes("TextBox 1").TextFrame2.TextRange.Characters.Text, Chr(10))) + 1


MsgBox LineCount


End Sub

Please replace TextBox 1 with the name of your TextBox.
