Good point, they must be the most annoying character on the keyboard.

In addition to the Array function method Bob posted, there is this
alternative (which, if you are like me and hate typing multiple quote
marks if you can help it) you might want to consider...

Private Sub UserForm_Activate()
ComboBox1.List = Split("Item 1,Item 2,Item 3,Item 4,Item 5", ",")
End Sub

where you can use any delimiter character you want so long as it is not in
any of the items in the list.

Hi Alex

The code below would be one way to do it.

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()

TextBox1.Value = Format(Now, "YYYY - MM - DD")

End Sub

Hope this helps

Thanks Bob and Steve; it worked perfectly. While I've got your
attention...Do you know the best way to add a list to a combobox? I'm
currently using .AddItem, but with a long list, it's a bit tedious.

thanks again,
alex

Thanks again Bob...I'd like to not reference anything on the
worksheet. I'm assuming I can still set up some kind of array.
aryValues = ?
