Jim - couple of weeks old this post but I'm looking for the validation that
you mention :-)

I've got a userform so admin staff can enter employee details and part of
that is start/finish date. I wanted to cheat really and try and get Excel to
validate the date entered for me, rather than have to type the code, and to
that extent I've tried using DateSerial to create a date with no luck.

I was thinking about putting the date into a cell on a hidden worksheet to
validate it but it seems a little "clunky" to me. Is this the best way for me
to validate the dates entered unless I write out some lengthy validation code?

Thanks
George

McCloudK - hope you don't mind me pinching the post :-)

This does not validate the input but if you need validation just reply back...

Range("A1").Value = InputBox("Enter Something")

I would like a box to pop up while running a macro that will prompt the user
for a date or number and then take that date or number entered and place in a
specific cell on the spreadsheet.
