I have a linked a textbox with a cell which has a value in '[h]:mm'. I am not
able
to format the textbox to display the same value as the cell (ie '[h]:mm').
Can
anyone help?

Best to load it formatted rather than link

TextBox1.Text = Range("A10").Text

Thanks Bob,
But it`s not working. I get the initial figure come up but as it changes in
the cell, it does not change in the textbox. I dont know why!

You would have to handle it every time it changes, there is nothing
automatic with this I am afraid.

Do this:

1) Put 12:34 in Cell A1 and format it however you see fit
2) create a textbox by clicking the textbox tool and drawing the
textbox rectangle with your mouse pointer
3) go to the formula bar and type in "=A1" and press ENTER.

Your text box is now linked to cell A1 and will update accordingly.
Format and all.
This works across tabs and across workbooks.
