I Have a user form with a no. of text boxes

textbox 3 to 5 the user is required to enter a date in the numeric format

2 day characters then 2 month characters and then the year

e.g.

10-09-2005 (ex1) or 15-09-2005 (ex2)

I Have the following code attached to a button on the user form to do this.

Worksheets("MainPage").range("C22").Value = Format(TextBox3.Text,_
"dd-mm-yyyy")
Worksheets("Data Entry").range("B2").Value = Format(TextBox4.Text,_
"dd-mm-yyyy")
Worksheets("Data Entry").range("B3").Value = Format(TextBox5.Text,_
"dd-mm-yyyy")

The problem is the when a date is used such as ex1 above when the date gets
to the worksheet the month and day part has been reversed.

Also when you look at hte cell on the work sheet it has been formatted as
09/10/2005. Which is not the instruction in the format command.

Any help you can provide would be appreciated.

Regards

Francis
