Excel Vba

I have a text box on a user form in Excel in which a user has to enter a password, can you let me know how to code it so that the user must enter only six characters, if six aren't entered I need a msgbox to tell the user it must only be six. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Which part of this have you attempted so far? In VB6, the textbox control has a MaxLength property which will limit the length of what can be typed in. It prevents more than the set amount, so you don't need to test for that. Do you need to check for passwords that are too short?

(Note, what works in VB6 may or may not carry over to Excel VBA).
