Hi,
The following will pad out an entry with zeros to ensure four digits are displayed:
Code:
Private Sub TextBox2_Exit(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean)
  TextBox2.Value = Format(TextBox2.Value, "0000")
End Sub
So, if a user enters 53 for instance, 0053 will be displayed.

How would I adapt this to take into account when a letter suffix is added to a number? For example, if a user enters 53a I would like 0053a to be returned.
There will never be greater than four digits but occasionally there will be a letter suffix.
Thanks.

What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.
Not tested... but try

Code:
Dim Num

Num = TextBox2.Value
If IsNumeric(Right$(Num,1)) Then
    TextBox2.Value = Format$(Val(Left$(Num,Len(Num)-1)),"0000")
Else
    TextBox2.Value = Format$(Val(Left$(Num,Len(Num)-1)),"0000") & Right$(Num,1)
End If
