when you unload the userform, the textbox is cleared. You need to set the
StartDate in the code before you unload the userform.

Thank you Tom,

I think that I have realized that I am not populating the StartDate
variable
with the date from the userform. I have tried to define "Public
StartDate
as Date" and am picking it up from the Date1 variable box in the Userform.
When I use MsgBox for StartDate and Date1 after I exit Userform I get no
data
so I am not filling the variable. I have used UserForm in the past so I
am
going to have to work on this one. Thanks for your help.

You can try it this way:

Range("D2").Select
' Set Do loop to stop when an empty cell is reached.
Do Until IsEmpty(ActiveCell)
' Insert your code here.
If ActiveCell.Value2 clng(StartDate) Then
ActiveCell.EntireRow.Hidden
= True
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Loop

I am trying to compare a date in a cell format "mm/dd/yyyy" against a
date
which had been input into a userform [same format] to ultimately hide
a
row.

When I use the following code all rows are hidden.
"StartDate" is the variable from the UserForm
[Public StartDate As Date]

Range("D2").Select
' Set Do loop to stop when an empty cell is reached.
Do Until IsEmpty(ActiveCell)
' Insert your code here.
If ActiveCell.Value StartDate Then Selection.EntireRow.Hidden =
True
Else
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Loop

If I convert the "D" column to the "Number" format and compare against
the
number format date for "StartDate" the macro works. Where am I
formating
incorrectly? Thanks
