Thanks Tom.
Just to clarify, is this to populate the two empty fields upon opening:
adding it (somehow) to this code?
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
UserForm1.Show
End Sub

or copying text from the text boxes and not the formlae behind them when
command button is clicked, invoking this:

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim LastRow As Object

Set LastRow = Sheet1.Range("a200").End(xlUp)

LastRow.Offset(1, 0).Value = TextBox1.Text
LastRow.Offset(1, 1).Value = TextBox2.Text
LastRow.Offset(1, 2).Value = TextBox3.Text
LastRow.Offset(1, 3).Value = TextBox4.Text
LastRow.Offset(1, 4).Value = TextBox5.Text
LastRow.Offset(1, 5).Value = TextBox6.Text
LastRow.Offset(1, 6).Value = TextBox7.Text
LastRow.Offset(1, 7).Value = TextBox8.Text

If vbYes Then
TextBox1.Text = Now()
TextBox2.Text = UserName()
TextBox3.Text = ""
TextBox4.Text = "supplier"
TextBox5.Text = ""
TextBox6.Text = ""
TextBox7.Text = ""
TextBox8.Text = ""
TextBox9.Text = ""

Else
Unload Me
End If

End Sub


Thanks again Tom

Ahhh. Right. Not sure how to approach that. Tbh, I have done it this way as I
can't get the date and usernames to appear in those text boxes when the form
is first opened; once one form full of data has been moved, code fills in
these two textboxes ok, it's just the very first one.

Thanks though Tom, I appreciate the reply.

You can have a value or a formula in a cell. The textbox will put a value in
the cell and remove the formula.

Break the controlsource and manage the updating of the cell with code. You
can program the content of the cell as you wish.

Two (of many) text boxes on a user form have control sources on the
spreadsheet hidden behind. These controls are =TODAY() and =USERNAME(). These
text boxes are locked.

The problem is that when the command button on the form is clicked to move
input data on the form to the spreadsheet behind, the formulae stated above
are removed leaving the date in one text box while the other is empty. How
can I adapt the vba to copy the data in TextBox1 and TextBox2 rather than
removing it?

Thanks for any ideas on this.
