VBA code for Validation of data entry by passing / not working

[dss28]

I am very new to VBA coding / excel as such. However I have designed a VBA based program for my needs based on several online VDOs and working satisfactorily. However the validation code for data entry is not working at all and data can be processed to next step without entering full information as required in the user form. i have included a part of the validation code. please help me in resolving the issue.

Function ValidEntry() As Boolean

    ValidEntry = True
    
    With frmADLPOForm
    
        'Default Color
        
              .txbDescription.BackColor = vbWhite    '8

             If Trim(.txbDescription.Value) = "" Then
        
            MsgBox "Please enter Description", vbOKOnly + vbInformation, "Description"
            .txbDescription.BackColor = vbRed
            .txbDescription.SetFocus
            
            ValidEntry = False
            Exit Function
        
        End If
        
    End With

End Function

Troubling you once more.
I used this code in two of my userforms and working fine.
I have another userform where I have 7 text boxes, out of which in 4 text boxes I am recalling data for updation of corresponding 3 text boxes (txb5, txb6,txb7).
Hence in these 3 text boxes, I want the code to run and spare the four text boxes and that they should retain their information.
When I execute the above code, it empties the 4 text boxes (txb1,2,3,4).
thanks in anticipation.

My solution only checks to ensure control(s) have data entered & reports to user any blank entry - it does not "empty" any control

Suggest post code you have issues with

oh. Sorry....
Got the answer,
The 4 text boxes were assigned original grey color and white coloured text matter ..... so as to indicate that the data in these boxes is not to be altered while the other three boxes had white background color and black text font suggesting only to update the data in these three boxes.
When the code was executed, the color in the 4 text boxes changes to white and I thought that the data is deleted as the code turned background color white for all text boxes.

coding is so interesting......

Should be able to adjust function to allow for different background colour

See if this update will do what you want

Function AllComplete(ByVal Form As Object, ByRef Missing As Integer, ParamArray ExcludedControls()) As Boolean
    Dim ctrl As Control
    Dim arr As Variant
    Dim ToBeExcluded As Boolean
    
    If Not IsMissing(ExcludedControls) Then arr = ExcludedControls
    
    For Each ctrl In Form.Controls
            Select Case True
            Case TypeOf ctrl Is MSForms.TextBox, TypeOf ctrl Is MSForms.ComboBox
                With ctrl
                   If Len(.Tag) = 0 Then .Tag = .BackColor
                    ToBeExcluded = CBool(Not IsError(Application.Match(.Name, arr, 0)))
                    .BackColor = IIf(Len(Trim(ctrl.Value)) = 0 And Not ToBeExcluded, vbRed, Val(.Tag))
                    Missing = Missing + IIf(.BackColor = vbRed, 1, 0)
                End With
            End Select
            ToBeExcluded = False
    Next ctrl
    
    AllComplete = CBool(Missing = 0)
End Function
