Hello everyone,
How to count the number of digits in a field while typing -with vba code?
Thank you in advance,

Inspect every character and compare to the ASC() number range?

Not sure that I've understood the requirement correctly but perhaps:

MsgBox Len(Me.ActiveControl.Text)

in the On Change event of a textbox control.

My thoughts were the O/P wanted to count digits in something like Th1s1sMyPa55w0rd

what do you mean "digits"? numbers?
you need to add Change event to your textbox and
count the digit there.
see this demo, open Form1 and type anything
in the first textbox.

If you mean that the field in question will ALWAYS be numeric and you are looking at its length, there are other questions to ask. Such as... Will it involve decimal points? Are you using the "thousands" separators (either comma or dot depending on regional settings)? Do you have mixed digit and alphabetic characters and you are trying to determine the count of digits in a mixed field? Please specify what you seek.
