Default date format

Excelent, thank you



-----Original Message-----
The apparent solution would be to subtract inside the

format statement
cmbPer.Value = Format(Month(Date)-1, "mm")

but that won't handle the January.

cmbPer.Value = Format(DateSerial(Year(date),Month(date)-

1,1),"mm")

Should be more robust.

cmbPer.Value = Format(Date, "mm")-1

this is exactly how I am doing it. My fiscal year

starts
in Feb so Oct is actually per 9, but my result is "9"
not "09". Any thoughts?

Think you are already there. From the immediate

window:

dt = dateserial(2004,2,3)
? Format(dt, "mm")
02

Hello All,

I have some code that places the numeric value of

the
current month (i.e. 12, 11) in a combo box when the
userform is activated. I would like it to show

a "0"
in
front of the single-digit months (09). I am using

the
following code on userform activate.

cmbPer.Value = Format(Date, "mm")

I am using a combo box to give the user the option

of
selecting a different month, if necessary.
Thanks
