Dates
 

I Have a Problem with a Programme that I have created where when a button is
pressed it puts today's date into a cell however towards the start of every
month it mixes up the date for example 06-apr-05 will be entered as 04-jun-05
how can I stop this from Happening?

I'm betting you're trying to format the date in your code.

How about just putting the date in the cell, then format that cell:

with activesheet.range("a1")
.value = date
.numberformat="dd-mmm-yy"
end with

(Although, I like to use 4 digit years!)

Dave, This will not solve my problem because I've made sure the the cells
that get these dates have been properly formated to "dd-mmm-yy" however
thanks for your reply.

It sure sounds like excel is interpretting your value differently than you want.

If you remove that decision from excel by just assigning the date, you may find
it works better.

Did you try it?

Yes -- but how is your programming outputting the result. Unless the output is
a number, which Excel can then interpret as a date, formatting will have no
affect.

Formatting the cell has no effect on how VBA interprets the date when
placing a value in the cell.

Post your code and perhaps someone can show you how to remove the problem.
