Default typing 'Up Country' ends up as Up Country' ?

hI
When typing 'Up Country' into a cell it ends up as Up Country' when I
tab to the next cell, However, if I type " Up Country" it sticks

Tried this in several cells with same result
Anyone know what is happening & how to fix please?

Start with two apostrophes.

Excel sees the first one as an indicator that the entry should be treated as
text--like with credit card numbers.

Which control are you using. Once you get the value to a variable; say dtValue

Msgbox Format(dtValue,"dd,mm,yyyy")
