The only thing I can think of that could do what you want it to do is create a global variable for each textbox you want to check.
In your form's code input, you need something like this:
Dim LoadedString As String 'global variable
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
LoadedString = TextBox1.Value
'assigns the global variable to the textbox
End Sub
Private Sub UserForm_Terminate()
If TextBox1.Value <> LoadedString Then
MsgBox ("Textbox1's value has changed since this form was opened")
End If
'if the textbox value has changed then the message will display
'but the form will still close though
End Sub
