    Converting text to numbers after using an ActiveX Textbox

    Hi!

    I have used an ActiveX Text Box and have linked it to a cell... Once a number is put into the box, I want Excel to convert this text to a number automatically because it gives me an error in the linked cell where I have to have a number and not a text.... In the attached workbook I want B2 to change to a number automatically without me having to click on the error button and selecting Convert to Number....

    Thanks,
    Jason

    Make the linked cell F7 which is under the box. Then in B2 use
    Formula: copy to clipboard
