Select all in text box

[dfg]

Let's say I have a text box expecting numeric data. Currently If
invalid data is entered into the box A message box pops up and displays
a message.

What I'd like to do is after I click OK on the message box, is to
highlight the invalid data inside the textbox. How can I do this?

Thanks.

Assuming your TextBox is named Text1...

Text1.SelStart = 0
Text1.SelLength = Len(Text1.Text)
