On my userform in TextBox6 will have a post code entered.

Some users do not apply a space within it.
Example

BS292HH It should be BS29 2HH
&
BS79JN it should be BS7 9JN

How can vba format the incorrect post code to the correct post code when the user has typed wrong

Thanks

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
does this work for you ?
VBA Code:
Private Sub TextBox6_BeforeUpdate(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean)
    If Len(Me.TextBox6) > 0 Then
        Me.TextBox6.Value = Format(Replace(Me.TextBox6.Value, " ", ""), "@@@@ @@@")
    End If
End Sub

@NoSparks
Yesterday you advised a code for correcting a postcode that was typed incorrectly without the space.

I wish to use the same BUT for a telephone number

I have used the same code as shown below & changed the TextBox number BUT how do i take out the piece " ", ""),
The below works fine but looking to have the correct code for a later us.
Thanks

VBA Code:
Private Sub TextBox2_BeforeUpdate(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean)
    If Len(Me.TextBox2) > 0 Then
        Me.TextBox2.Value = Format(Replace(Me.TextBox2.Value, " ", ""), "@@@@@ @@@@@@")
    End If
End Sub

This should be a new question
I don't know what would be or could be entered by the user and am not familiar with what resulting phone number should actually be in the UK

Locally (for me) phone numbers would be displayed as either
(250) 123-4567 or 250-123-4567 or 1-250-123-4567 if long distance

    End If
End Sub
Should add trim function
VBA Code:
Private Sub TextBox6_BeforeUpdate(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean)
    If Len(Me.TextBox6) > 0 Then
        Me.TextBox6.Value = Trim(Format(Replace(Me.TextBox6.Value, " ", ""), "@@@@ @@@"))
    End If
End Sub
