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
