Hi, i have created a form for an Excel SSheet, with various textboxs an
combo boxs. All work fine in that the data entered/selected ends up i
the cells required.

My problem is that it would like some formatting for the textboxs. Th
first box contains the date:

txtDate.Value = Date

The date appears on the form as d/m/yy, but i would like it to b
dd/mm/yy.

Also when this date is placed in a cell, it is in general format jus
as 1/3/04 and not as 38047, it isn't a true date.

Lastly how can i apply some conditional formatting for the other boxs
i.e

txtWeight

Number to 0 or 1 decimal places.

An error message/retry - cancel button if the number is <50 and 100.

Many Thank

txtDate.Text = Format$(Date, "dd/mm/yy")

Sure it is. Just format the cell in date format and see for yourself. The system is
actually 38047 days since new year to 1900; which is 1/3/04.
