I must be missing the obvious, But.

I have a user form with a text box for the user to enter notes. How do I make it save those notes entered as each time the user form is activated the text box is empty

Hi

I don't know !! I just wanted a simple note screen for the user to enter some notes they could recall next time they open the workbook.

Your advice would be appreciated as to how I can achieve this

How are you opening/closing the userform?

Is the textbox linked to any cell on the worksheet?

Hi

The user form is opened by a command button on another user form.

Here is one way using a workbook name. Replace "TextBox1" in the code with the name of your textbox control...

Code:
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
    On Error Resume Next
    TextBox1.Text = [SaveTextBoxText]
End Sub

Private Sub UserForm_Terminate()
    Names.Add "SaveTextBoxText", TextBox1.Text
    ThisWorkbook.Save
End Sub

Not quite sure what you mean by
"Replace "TextBox1" in the code with the name of your textbox control...

What is my text box control ?

It's the textbox (control) on the userform.

Sorry, I see what you meant. my control was by default textbox1 and it confused.
Where does it save the text to ?

That works a treat.

Many thanks

Hi

I now see it saves it in as a saved name within Excel. What would be the limitations to the amount of text saved.
