    Userform textbox background color and percent

    I am trying to get the text box to change background color when the percent is < 90.0% and > 110.0% and to change back when the value is in between. However it only does red in the current version below. When I change the "90.0" to "0.9" and so forth it will only work for number entered 0.9-1.1. I have tried many things but know I must be missing something.

    It works with the correct range except it doesn't keep the format correctly it changes 100.0 to just 100 without it being 100.0%

    That works except for numbers that round to 90 such as 89.9 or 110. That should be turned red but is not. It needs to be 90.0 and 110.0 but doesn't work.

    could try >= 89.5 instead of >=90



    EDIT

    also change < 90 to < 89.5

    Didn't work either. The number 89.9 should turn red where as 90.0 should not change.

    Re: Userform textbox background color and percent

    If I don't change anything in the cell after being in it I get a run-time error 13 type mismatch and highlights. I have a my original code that works for non % when I exit out of the box without changing anything. it doesn't matter if it is at exit or after update. Any ideas?

    What do you want to happen if there was a value in there and you delete it? What should the backcolor be?

    What is a typical entry in the text box?
    What is shown if this is inserted before the If statement?

    If I enter a number and go to the next box and then return to the this box, but then move onto another box without changing anything or deleting and exiting the box I get the error.

    It basically doesn't like it when there are no changes made while being in the box and exiting the box

    Re: Userform textbox background color and percent

    Can you post a workbook. That works fine for me and handles blank cells, text and numbers or percentages.
