Default Automatic date or time in forms

I have made use this line of code:-

Textbox1.Value = format(now,"mm/dd/yyyy")

to complete a textbox in a UserForm, however it only works for me some
people on my team it seems. For others it brings up a Compile Error 'can't
find Project or library..???

Is this anything to do with Addins or Excel options?

I have also used:-

Textbox1.Value = Date

but the effect seems to be the same. Can anybody help me understand why?
or can I fill the textbox from a single cell on a sheet (with ' =Today() '
in the cell)?

I know this is an old thread but it shows that I do search for an answer
before posting ;-)

Thank you in advance

Use a textbox instead:

When I use this option users can not adjust this cell. How can I get it
adjustable.

if you want it to update periodically, look at Chip Pearson's page on

the
use of OnTime. You could start it off in the activate event.
