How to allow TextBox backspace key?

If there are multiple characters in the textbox, there is no problem to use backspace. But if there is only one character left in the textbox, it pops up Run-time error 5 when entering backspace key. The main problem is if user enter first invalid character, he/she should be allowed to use backspace key.

You're trying to interpret a character that does not exist... The textbox will have been blanked before the code runs so the .TEXT property contains a null string and you cannot get the rightmost character of a null string.

You either need to add error handling or check the textbox actually still contains something before checking the contents.
