Morning,
On my command button I’m looking for it to copy a Textbox value on my userform & insert it into the stored code of which is then placed into another textbox.

Example,
Textbox1 has the value NEW

The command button will have a default string of HAPPY?YEAR

Basically the ? Is where the textbox value should be placed.
The code will then be placed into Textbox2

I plan to use this code on other command buttons BUT some will have characters as the stored code.

Example of stored code.
ABC@&?

Textbox4 has the value Z46

So the text Z46 is added to the stored code so when placed in the Textbox it will be ABC@&Z46

Hi,
You helped me above with the code which wors fine for 1 line of text for my MsgBox
Here is the code in use.
It soutput is
MsgBox ("FIRST LINE OF CODE"), vbOKCancel + vbInformation, "SINGLE LINE OF CODE"

Rich (BB code):
Private Sub GenerateCode_Click()
Dim specialWord As String
specialWord = "MsgBox (""?""),"
TextBox3.TEXT = Replace(specialWord, "?", TextBox2.TEXT)
Me.TextBox3.Value = Me.TextBox3.Value & " " & Me.TextBox4.Value
Me.TextBox3.Value = Me.TextBox3.Value & " " & Me.TextBox5.Value
specialWord = " ""?"""
TextBox3.TEXT = TextBox3.TEXT & Replace(specialWord, "?", TextBox1.TEXT)
End Sub


Now i wish to be able to allow two lines of code but not sure the correct way to do it.
The output should be
MsgBox("FIRST LINE OF TEXT HERE)" & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & "SECOND LINE OF TEXT HERE", vbOKCancel + vbInformation, "TWO LINES OF CODE"

I have added 2 option buttons for single line or 2 two lines of code which the user must select one of them

OptionButton 8 will copy ONLY TextBox 8 value
OptionButton 9 will copy TextBox8 value & also TextBox 6 value

So basically the special word for 2 lines will be & vbNewLine & vbNewLine &

Rich (BB code):
Private Sub GenerateCode_Click()
   Dim specialWord As String
   
   If OptionButton8 = True Then
   specialWord = "MsgBox (""?""),"
   TextBox3.TEXT = Replace(specialWord, "?", TextBox2.TEXT)
   End If
   
   If OptionButton9 = True Then
   specialWord = "MsgBox (""?""),"
   TextBox3.TEXT = Replace(specialWord, "?", TextBox2.TEXT)
   
   specialWord = "& vbNewLine & vbNewLine & (""?""),"
   TextBox3.TEXT = TextBox3.TEXT & Replace(specialWord, "?", TextBox6.TEXT)
   End If
   
   Me.TextBox3.Value = Me.TextBox3.Value & " " & Me.TextBox4.Value
   Me.TextBox3.Value = Me.TextBox3.Value & " " & Me.TextBox5.Value
   
   specialWord = " ""?"""
   TextBox3.TEXT = TextBox3.TEXT & Replace(specialWord, "?", TextBox1.TEXT)
   
End Sub

Out put is
MsgBox ("FIRST LINE OF TEXT HERE"),& vbNewLine & vbNewLine & ("SECOND LINE OF TEXT HERE"), vbOKCancel + vbInformation, "TWO LINES OF CODE"

But the syntax is wrong

My code is currently this & Blue code output is correct where Red code output is wrong
Do we need to allow for two special words ?

Rich (BB code):
Private Sub GenerateCode_Click()
   Dim specialWord As String

   If OptionButton8 = True Then
   specialWord = "MsgBox (""?""),"
   TextBox3.TEXT = Replace(specialWord, "?", TextBox2.TEXT)
   End If
   
   If OptionButton9 = True Then
   specialWord = "MsgBox (""?""),"
   TextBox3.TEXT = TextBox3.TEXT & Replace(specialWord, "?", TextBox6.TEXT)
   End If
   
   Me.TextBox3.Value = Me.TextBox3.Value & " " & Me.TextBox8.Value
   
   specialWord = "MsgBox (""?"")"
   Me.TextBox3.Value = Me.TextBox3.Value & " " & Me.TextBox7.Value
   
   Me.TextBox3.Value = Me.TextBox3.Value & " " & Me.TextBox4.Value
   Me.TextBox3.Value = Me.TextBox3.Value & " " & Me.TextBox5.Value
   
   specialWord = " ""?"""
   TextBox3.TEXT = TextBox3.TEXT & Replace(specialWord, "?", TextBox1.TEXT)
   
End Sub

Im nearly there but when i see the output code its missing some characters
Example
With the code above output is MERRY CHRISTMAS

I am trying to see it as "MERRY CHRISTMAS"

specialWord = "MsgBox (""?"")" Me.TextBox3.Value = Me.TextBox3.Value & " " & Me.TextBox7.Value
I don't understand your project completely. Maybe you should try like this:

VBA Code:
   specialWord = "MsgBox (""?"")"
   Me.TextBox3.Value = Me.TextBox3.Value & "?" & Me.TextBox7.Value
