Private Sub Text1_LostFocus()
If Not (IsNumeric(Text1.Text)) Then
MsgBox "Please enter only a number"
Text1.SetFocus
Text1.SelStart = 0
Text1.SelLength = Len(Text1.Text)

I do not see how your code is any different than the other comments. If the question has already been answered as a comment, the questioner can accept a comment as answer. Since your "answer" is not unique, you have the option to "withdraw" your proposed answer.

Friends. Skip99 and Erick37. Both of u gave correct answers but correct me if i am wrong. The set focus should come last in the line of coding.Right?
Like This:
Text1.SelStart = 0
Text1.SelLength = Len(Text1.Text)
Text1.Setfocus

csindorf stated that he already set focus back to the box, so all that was left was to select the string
text.sellength = len(text.text)
text.sellength = len(text.text)
