I fully agree with what Harald said. To add to it, though, you can always
use the Format function after you have validated the entry is, in fact, a
date (use the IsDate function for that) to put the date into whatever format
you need. So, code along these lines...

Dt = Me.TextBox1.Text
If IsDate(Dt) Then
DateInDesiredFormat = Format(Dt, "dd/mm/yy")
Else
MsgBox Your entry (" & Dt & ") is not a valid date!"
End If

Don't do this please. Don't prompt "Invalid date entry" on an annoying
modal msgbox just because the user entered a four digit year or forgot a
leading zero, your users will hate the application with good reasons.
There are several valid date formats and you should accept as many as
possible. Do

Dt = Datevalue(Me.Textbox1.Text)

and it accepts June 1, 12/31/08 and multiple others that makes sense in
the user's country. Your validation should be if the date is later than
someday reasonable or if Datevalue errs.

HTH. Best wishes Harald

I am creating a userform in excel,

I need to create a user inputs into a which a valid date can only be
entered.

The required Date Format is "dd/mm/yy".

Can someone show me how to do this?
