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 |

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. -- Regards, Jake Marx www.longhead.com [please keep replies in the newsgroup - email address unmonitored] Paul wrote: 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.
