Default Control Box Text Box

Hi,

I think this is going to be an easy one, but my head won't function tonight,

I have a text box from the Control Toolbox, this has been linked to a cell
with a date, but the text box shows the date as a number, I'm trying to see
how I can change this so that the text box format is a date, Ican't for the
life of me see how to do this.

Any help much appreciated.
