Combo box question
 

Hi,

I have written a User Form in VBA (Excel 97). This form contains a
ComboBox and the data for this ComboBox (a series of dates is
contained in sheet 2 column A.)

I have the Row Source as Sheet2!A1:A95 and this appears to be OK when
I test it - the selected dates show in the ComboBox (Although the date
then changes to a 5 digit number)

What I haven't worked out what to do is how to tell VBA that the date
I select in the ComboBox is to be written to Sheet1 cell C2. The code
so far is:

Range("C2").Select
Selection = Clear
Range("C2").Select
Selection = ???????

What needs to go on the last line to copy the selected date into cell
C2?

Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Hi Peter,

You can skip the Select and Clear stuff and just do

Range("C2").Value = ComboBox1.Value

Of course you may have to better qualify Range("C2") so the output lands on the intended worksheet.

The date/number question is another issue.

Just set the control source property to Sheet1!C2

you don't need a macro.

Hi Anvers,

Thanks very much for your reply - it works fine - and there is no
problem with the date - although it shows a number in the combobox it
appears in C2 as a correctly formated date!
