Hello,
How can I detect the number of characters currently being typed in a userform's textbox1.
So if I type ABC then I run my code as soon as C is being typed in the textbox.

Will appreciate a lot.

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
hi,
you can try

sub textbox1_change()
if len(textbox1.text)=3 then
'your code here
else
'another code here
end if
end sub
