Not formatting the number 2005 as a Date will also work.

Tom, I got what he got using XL2000. Dim yr As String, will work.

I'm using xl97 and
? year(date)
2005
so I don't know how you are getting 2005 or what you mean by returns.
Are you trying to convert 2005 to a date?
? cdate(2005)
6/27/1905
dates are stored as the number of days from a base date. In Excel for
windows and VBA, this base date is essentially the beginning of the year
1900.
If you want to convert 2005 to a date you would need
? dateserial(2005,1,1)
1/1/05
? clng(dateserial(2005,1,1))
38353
so Jan 1, 2005 is 38,353 days after the based date.

The error was my fault. I forgot to remove the range from the
listfillrange
property.
However, when I select a year it returns that year minus 100 (i.e. 2005
is
selected it returns 1905)

The subject doesn't do this justice. I have a combo box for the
user
to
select a year from the current year to 12 in the future. The
ListFillRange
for the combo box refers to a sheet with the following formulas:
AD
1 Year
2 =TODAY() - All dates are formatted as YYYY
3 =DATE(YEAR(AD2)+1,MONTH(AD2),DAY(AD2))
4 =DATE(YEAR(AD3)+1,MONTH(AD3),DAY(AD3))
5 ....etc....
Everything works great...you push the button at the side of the
combo
box
and it drops down and shows a list of years starting from the
current
year.
No problems until a year is selected. i.e. if 2006 is selected it
returns
38991. I know this has to do with the formulas I am using in the
spreadsheet. But I don't know how to fix it.
I used the formulas as a way to not have to update the program
every
year.
I want the list to start at 2006 when we hit 1/1/2006.
Thank you for the help.
