Excel VB Textobxes Characters

[Jerome_RA]

Hi Excel Gurus,

I nee a help on a cod to separate Texts at Textboxes.

So I have here TextBoxComments, TextBoxA, TextBoxB, and TextBoxC.

So the TextBoxComments is where the user would place the comments on the file.

What I want to do is whenever the TexBoxComments reaches its first 255 characters, it will go to TextBoxA, the next succeeding 255 characters will go to TextBoxB and the last succeeding 255 characters will go to TextBoxC.

Enter all text in TextBoxComments and then run the code

Code below written for active-x textboxes embedded in a worksheet
Code simplified to make it easy to follow
Place code in SHEET module (not Module1, Module2 etc)

Sub Trans()
    Dim c As String
    c = TextBoxComments.Text
    
    TextBoxComments = Left(c, 255)
    TextBoxA = Mid(c, 255 + 1, 255)
    TextBoxB = Mid(c, 255 + 255 + 1, 255)
    TextBoxC = Mid(c, 255 + 255 + 255 + 1, 255)
End Sub

EDIT
Did I misread your request? Is it this you want?

Sub Trans()
    Dim c As String
    c = TextBoxComments.Text
    
    TextBoxComments = ""
    TextBoxA = Left(c, 255)
    TextBoxB = Mid(c, 255 + 1, 255)
    TextBoxC = Mid(c, 255 + 255 + 1, 255)
End Sub

What do you want to happen if the delete key is pressed (in TextBoxComments), do you want the characters to come back from TextBoxA to Comments?
