Excel 97, text box Input Mask, local date format
 

Hi TWIMC,

How do I put an input mask on a text box via VB code in Excel 97 when the
form opens. The input mask I require relates to the date input mask
"dd.mm.yyyy" or what ever the regional settings of the computer being sued
are set to for a short date format.

TIA
KM

Hi TIA;

You would probably need to let them give you the date the
way they want and then convert it. I went to VBA help in
Excel and found the following listings:


User-Defined Date/Time Formats (Format Function)

User-Defined Date/Time Formats Example

I hope that helps,

Greg

Hi, it doesn't realy help because I need to have in the text box the input
mask dd.mm.yyyy and for that to remain when they start to type a date and
once they have type the date, the cursor jumps to the month so the user does
not have to enter the date sparator.

I'll keep looking, thank anyway.

Thanks In Advance (TIA)
