Hi,

i have a problem when i choose a date in the combobox; for example, my
list contains some dates (08/05/2003 etc) and when i choose a
date,this is the number 37839 that appears.
How can I do to make visible the date and not the number?
Thanks,

Sarah

Format it. The number is simply how Excel stores dates (days are whole
numbers since 1/1/1900, times are decimals of a day)

Private Sub Combobox1_Click()
Combobox1.Value = Format(clng(Combobox1.Value),"mm/dd/yyyy")
End Sub
