first, Date is what you would use in a worksheet,

DateSerial would be used in VBA.

But either one expects a number for month. for your values use

PlanDate = DateValue(me.cboPlanMonth.Value & " 1, " & Me.cboPlanYear.Value)


or for international considerations

PlanDate = cDate(me.cboPlanMonth.Value & " 1, " & Me.cboPlanYear.Value)

I'm getting month and year values from a user form. The months are in the
form January, February, etc. and the years are 2004,2005, 2006. I want to
get the date from the entered values and I've used this equation

PlanDate = Date( Me.cboPlanYear.Value, me.cboPlanMonth.Value,1)

For some reason, it gives me a compile error on this statement. What am I
missing?

Thanks
