On my form there is a textbook which comments are written. I need it to save the comments every time the file is closed and when opened again the comments should appear. It should also save any editing done.
 

Excel Facts

How can you turn a range sideways?
Copy the range. Select a blank cell. Right-click, Paste Special, then choose Transpose.
I assume you mean "TextBox" not "TextBook"
One way is to hold the textbox text in a cell somewhere within the workbook

The code below
- automatically saves the workbook when it is closed
- loads UserForm1 when the file is opened
- when UserForm is loaded latest text is auto-loaded into TextBox1
- automatically writes the text in TextBox1 to cell A1

Amend UserForm1, TextBox1, SheetName, Range("A1") to match the names in your workbook

Code:
[COLOR=#ff0000]I[/COLOR][COLOR=#ff0000]n ThisWorkbook module[/COLOR]
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
    ThisWorkbook.Save
    ThisWorkbook.Saved = True
End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
    UserForm1.Show
End Sub

Code:
[COLOR=#ff0000]In userform code window[/COLOR]
Private Sub TextBox1_Change()
    Sheets("SheetName").Range("A1").Value = Me.TextBox1.Text
End Sub

Private Sub UserForm_Activate()
    Me.TextBox1.Text = Sheets("SheetName").Range("A1").Value
End Sub

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
    Me.TextBox1.Text = Sheets("SheetName").Range("A1").Value
End Sub
