Good thinking Jake,
solution works fine.

Thanks, Paul

Hi Paul,

Something like this should work for you:

.Value = Format$(Date, "Mmmm")

One comment - I would pick a different name for your
ComboBox, as Month is a
reserved keyword. I don't think it will cause any
problems, but better safe
than sorry. I typically use "cbo" in front of a ComboBox
name so I know at
first glance what type of object it is. So you could
use "cboMonth" or
similar.

Using XL 2000, i'm populating a combobox using:

With Month
.AddItem "January" '0
.AddItem "February" '1
.AddItem "March" '2
.AddItem "April" '3
.AddItem "May" '4
.AddItem "June" '5
.AddItem "July" '6
.AddItem "August" '7
.AddItem "September" '8
.AddItem "October" '9
.AddItem "November" '10
.AddItem "December" '11
End With

I would like the current month to default in the
combobx.
any ideas appreciated.

Thanks, Paul
