IsDate(Textbox1.Text)

or:

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim DtVal As Date
DtVal = 0
On Error Resume Next
DtVal = CDate(TextBox1.Text)
On Error GoTo 0
If Not DtVal = 0 Then
Label1.Caption = "Good Date"
Else
Label1.Caption = "Bad DAte"
End If
End Sub

as an example.

Look at the Calendar Control

mscal.ocx I believe. It might be available in the VBE under tools=
Additional controls (available when you userform has the focus)

1. I have a number of userform textbox controls that are designated as
dates
(European Format dd/mm/yy). What is the best method of validating date
entry?

2. Related to 1 above, are there any active-x controls that I can use to
display a calendar that pops up when the user enters the textbox that
requires a date to be entered?

TIA

Nigel
