Hello friends,

I have an excel sheet with a textbox, I want to link the maxlength of letters. I don't want to type a number, instead I want to place cell "R45".

There is a number that is changing.

Is it possible to have maxlength linked to an exisitng cell?

Thank you
Nawaf
 

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
You can't really make a dynamic link, but what you can probably do (I have never tried this, but there is no reason why it shouldn't work) is to place code in the WorkSheet_Change event that updates the Textbox.MaxLength property to whatever value is in that cell.
