Many tips (and trick) tell us that if we want the textbox control ignore the character which is not numeric
character, then we can just put the code that shown in KeyPress event procedure below. But, sometimes we
forgot that although we have put the code in KeyPress event procedure, user still can input the alpha character to
textbox control by doing copy and Paste to textbox. So, here is another tips to fix the problem. I hope this
helpful.

'Try Paste some character which is not numeric

'from another file, paste it to those textboxes).
'See the difference between Text1 and Text2!!!
'So, don't forget to add the code in event
'procedure Change belongs to the textbox if
'you want your textbox control avoid the character
'which is not numeric. This is often we forgot!
