I am developing a userform in which the user will enter a date. I want
the
code to verify that the data entered is a valid date (type dbDate) before
calling the procedure. To do this I have been working with the code
below:
Private Sub TextBox1_BeforeUpdate(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean)
Dim dtHol As Variant
dtHol = TextBox1.Value
If TextBox1.Type < dbDate And TextBox1.Value < "" Or _
TextBox1.Value < 0 Then
Call errMsg1
End If
End Sub

The Type method does not seem to be available for this purpose, and
assigning a variable the value of the TextBox has been similarly
unsuccessful. Any hints how this should be done?
