    VBA - Return Value Of ACTIVE TextBox in a Shape.

    Hi all,

    I am trying to figure out how to return the value of a text box that is in a shape, and display it in a MsgBox. Everything I have tried returns a "Object Required" error.

    I am also trying to do this as one single macro that can be applied to any required shape, without having to manually create macros for each shape.

    Please see the sample attached.

    Many thanks!
