plsss...

another thing, can i place it in text1_change?

for i place a setfocus on the next textbox, but didn,t work....

no, cause the code handle key pressed.
if you want to handle by text change, you can use IsNumeric() function.
try this following code :

Private Sub Text1_Change()
    If IsNumeric(Right(Text1, 1)) = True Then
          Text1 = Left(Text1, Len(Text1) - 1)
     Else
     ' number
 
    End If
End Sub
