Whenever I don't like the way the Format functions are working, I pull
everthing apart and then put it back together EXACTLY the way I want it to be.
In your case I would use this:
Dim Month as Integer
Dim Year as Integer
Dim Day as Integer
Dim TheFinalProduct as String
Month = VBA.Month(Calendar1.Value)
Year = VBA.Year(Calendar1.Value)
Day = VBA.Day(Calendar1.Value)
TheFinalProduct = Day & "/" & Month & "/" & Year
TextBox2 = TheFinalProduct
Try It, this comes in handy for me all the time.

i have a calendar from which a user selects the date, which is then
displayed in a text box. The problem is that the date displayed in the
textbox is in the format mm/dd/yyyy, when i want it to be dd/mm/yyyy.
ive tried a few things but cannot get it to display the date correctly,
here is my code:
Private Sub Calendar1_Click()
TextBox2 = Calendar1.Value
TextBox2 = Format(TextBox2, "dd/mm/yyyy")
End Sub
my regional setting is set to english (UK).
the properties on the calendar shows the values on the calendar as
dd/mm/yyyy. But when i run the macro, the text box shows it
differently.
Also after trying to convert the format in the text box, it half works,
by this i mean if i select the 24 of june 2006, it displays it as
24/06/2006, which is cool, but if i select 8th of june 2006, then it
displays it as 6/8/2006, which is messed up.
how can i get this to work??
any ideas?
pls help if u can
thanks
