I know very little about VBA code, but I managed to copy and paste code(s) from various site to create a userform. I have multiple TextBoxes (i.e., TextBox1 thru TextBox15) on the userform. I would like 10 of the 15 text boxes formatted with the same code (see below). I copied the code 10 times, then changed the name (e.g., TextBox1, TextBox2 ....TextBox10) so the code is just repeats.

Is it possible to reduce the amount of code and apply the code below it to the 10 TextBoxes that uses the same format with having to repeat the code?

Private Sub TextBox1_Change()
With TextBox1
If .Value < 0 Then
.BackStyle = fmBackStyleTransparent
.ForeColor = fmBackStyleTransparent
.ForeColor = RGB(255, 0, 0)
Else
.ForeColor = fmBackStyleTransparent
.ForeColor = RGB(0, 0, 0)
End If
End With
End Sub

Thank you

How to create a cell-sized chart?
Tiny charts, called Sparklines, were added to Excel 2010. Look for Sparklines on the Insert tab.
Create a Class module and rename it to ClTxtBx then paste this code into it
Code:
[COLOR=#0000ff]Public WithEvents TextBxGroup As MSForms.TextBox[/COLOR]

Private Sub TextBxGroup_Change()
   With TextBxGroup
      If .Value < 0 Then
         .BackStyle = fmBackStyleTransparent
         .ForeColor = fmBackStyleTransparent
         .ForeColor = RGB(255, 0, 0)
      Else
         .ForeColor = fmBackStyleTransparent
         .ForeColor = RGB(0, 0, 0)
      End If
   End With
End Sub
Then in the userform module
Code:
[COLOR=#0000ff]Dim TxtBx() As New ClTxtBx[/COLOR]

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
   Dim i As Long
   Dim ctrl As MSForms.Control
   
   ReDim TxtBx(1 To 10)
   For i = 1 To 10
      Set TxtBx(i).TextBxGroup = Me.Controls("Textbox" & i)
   Next i
End Sub
The lines in blue must go at the very top of their respective modules, before any code
