JTB

You will find most controls and associated controls in VBA are US-Centric.
You will normally have to format specifically for EU style

When I link a TextBox to a spreadsheet cell that contains a date by
specifying a ControlSource for it, the TextBox displays a US-formatted
date.

What's going on?

I've checked every locale and international setting that I can find, and
they are all European.

Is the US date actually hard-coded into the TextBox control?
