Div
It appears as a serial date where? If it is on a worksheet just format it,
if it arrives into a variable in your code you may need to specifically
parse it, e.g
Private Sub ComboBox1_Change()
Dim myUKDate As String
myUKDate = Format(Me.ComboBox1.Value, "dd/mm/yyyy")
MsgBox myUKDate
End Sub

Hi All,
Using Excel 2007 I have a combo box with a row source of dates linked to a
column of worksheet cells. The cells on the worksheet are UK formatted as
dd/mm/yy and appear as such. The form opens and when a user clicks on the
combo box the dates can be viewed correctly - so far so good. The problem
I
need help with is when the user (me) selects a date from the list it
appears
as a date serial number and not in the anticipated format. Any help with
this
would be greatly appreciated.
Regards - Div
