Default Date format changes when inputed from user form

I would use something different than a textbox.

Either a calendar control...

Ron de Bruin has some notes:

Or even 3 textboxes/comboboxes/spinners/scrollbars.
One for the month, one for the day and one for the year.

Hi, I have a user form which contains text boxes into which I type the
date in format dd/mm/yy. However when I click on the enter button and
the data is entered onto my spread sheet the date enters as mm/dd/yy. I
can get it to enter in the correct format if I use a calendar to add the
date but I dont want to do this If I can help it. Is there an easy
solution to this problem. I have spent hours trying to get it right but
nothing Ive tried works.
Thank you for any assistance

Thanks, but I was trying to keep it simple, maybe ill just add "todays
date" and modify if necessary. Sometimes it will be todays date and
other times it will be a previous days date depending on how up to date
my data entry is.
