Excel VBA- Using Comparison Operators to Prompt Warning Message

Hi Experts,

I have a text box that holds values of adjusted amounts less than $150.  

If the amount entered by the end user is over $150 then a warning message advising the end user to check their entry should generate.  

What's happening with my current code is that it's not recognizing any amounts under $99.00 so the warning message pops warning that the amount entered needs to be under $150 when it is.

It'll accept some entries like $12 and $15 but if I enter $79 or $9.99 it'll trigger the warning box to pop when the entries are clearly under $150.

I need assistance modifying the code so that it'll work properly.

Thank you in Advance for your time.

... alternatively, (edit: without needing a format change)...
Private Sub textAdjust_Exit(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean)

Me.textAdjust.Value = Format(Me.textAdjust.Value, "$#,###,###.00")

'checks to see if adj amount is less than $150
If CDbl(Replace(Me.textAdjust.Value, "$", "")) > 150 Then
    MsgBox "Adjustment amount should be $150 or Less.  Please check the amount entered."
    Me.textAdjust.Value = ""
End If

End Sub

Open in new window

You are converting number to text before compare. Remove Format and compare value. Something like this:
Private Sub textAdjust_Exit(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean)

'Me.textAdjust.Value = Format(Me.textAdjust.Value, "$#,###,###.00")

'checks to see if adj amount is less than $150
If Me.textAdjust.Value > "150" Then
    MsgBox "Adjustment amount should be $150 or Less.  Please check the amount entered."
    Me.textAdjust.Value = ""
End If

End Sub

Open in new window

If you need text in this field, convert it after IF
