ExcelBanter - Date Entry Script

Larry,

The following code may do what you want.
(Depending on the country this is being used in,
the date format may have to be changed.)

'--------------------------------------------
Sub GetUserDate()
Dim UserDate As Variant

Retry:
UserDate = InputBox(vbNewLine & "Enter the date - Month/Day/Year", _
" Larry Townsend Asks You To...", Format$(Date, " MMM/DD/YYYY "))
On Error Resume Next
UserDate = CDate(UserDate)

If Err.Number < 0 Then
UserDate = MsgBox("Your entry is not a valid date. ", _
vbRetryCancel + vbExclamation, " OOPS")
If UserDate = vbCancel Then
Exit Sub
Else
Err.Clear
GoTo Retry
End If
End If

With ActiveSheet.Range("B4")
.NumberFormat = "DD-MMM"
.HorizontalAlignment = xlHAlignCenter
.Value = UserDate
End With
End Sub
