I am a VB beginner and trying to get a client name entering text box to only accept alphabetic inputs. The box accepts UpperCase (Capital) inputs (using &quot;KeyASCII >=A or KeyASCII <=Z), but I cannot work out how to get it to accept lower case. The same code with lower case letters does not work.
 
lowercase alpha characters

if keyascii>=97 and keyascii<=122 then

uppercase alpha characters

if keyascii>=65 and keyascii<=90 then
 
You may also want to allow backspace (keyascii = 8)

try this code...

Private Sub Text1_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
Select Case UCase(Chr(KeyAscii))
Case &quot;A&quot; To &quot;Z&quot;, Chr(vbKeyBack), Chr(vbKeySpace) 'Allowed
Case Else
KeyAscii = 0
End Select
End Sub
