ID 860 PLEASE HELP
 

Hi,

Can someone please help me? I have the following showform query in VB:
Goto Reference:="DataTable"
ActiveSheet.ShowDataForm
Application.CommandBars(1).FindControl(Id:=860, recursive:=True).Execute
The problem is the date. When the form comes up if the user mouse clicks
into the cell, the date stays as dd/mm/yy as a space is put in front of it.
However, if the user tabs, there is no space and the date is correct.

I think it may have something to do with the ID 860 specifying the date is
dd/mm/yy. Is there an ID which will bring the date up as dd-mmm-yy?
Any help appreciated! I am dying over here!

Thanks,

Leanne

Your actually showing the dataform twice.

Sub AA()
Application.Goto Reference:="DataTable"
ActiveSheet.ShowDataForm
End Sub

should be sufficient. If your data doesn't start in one of cells A1:B2,
then you need to name your DataTable to DataBase.

I couldn't reproduce any space problem in a date field. It appears the
form uses the specified short date format to display the data.
