Hello,
I currently have a userform with a textbox that limits the user input to accept only alphanumeric. I had found that code in an older thread on this board here.

The code works great but now I've decided that the user should also be allowed to include "-" and/or "_" along with alphanumeric in that particular field. I haven't been able to figure out what changes need to be made so that only letters, numbers, - and _ are valid input.

Any help would be appreciated!

Code:
Private Sub TextBoxInputComment_Change()

For i = 1 To Len(TextBoxInputComment.Value)
    If Mid(TextBoxInputComment.Value, i, 1) Like "*[!0-9A-Za-z]*" Then
        strComment = strComment
    Else
        strComment = strComment & Mid(TextBoxInputComment.Value, i, 1)
    End If
Next
       
TextBoxInputComment.Value = strComment

End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Remove leading & trailing spaces
Save as CSV to remove all leading and trailing spaces. It is faster than using TRIM().
try
Code:
If Mid(TextBoxInputComment.Value, i, 1) Like "*[!0-9A-Za-z_-]*" Then
