Hello. I'm trying to format the date entry in a textbox on a form s
that when a future date is entered via the form onto the relevant cel
in the active sheet, it will always show in the following format
'01/mm/yyyy' in the cell. The first day of the month should always b
01 and there should be slashes showing. So no matter how the use
enters the date in the textbox (whether they use the '/' or not, and/o
put the day other than 01) it will always override with the correc
format into the cell. The textbox is always initialized to sho
'01/mm/yyyy' which the user will type over. I have tried a couple o
ways but can't get it to work properly:

This is the line of code I'm working from, where textbox3 is the plac
the date is entered:

If OptionButton5 Then Cells(Nextrow, 3) = TextBox3.Text

I have tried using:
TextBox3.Text = format(textBox3.Text, "01/mm/yyyy")
which just literally adds 01/mm/yyyy into the box after the textbo
text

and I've tried:

With TextBox3
Select Case Len(.Text)
Case 2, 5
.Text = .Text & "/"
End Select

If InStr(.Text, "//") Then
.Text = Replace(.Text, "//", "/")
End If
End With

which doesn't do anything. I have also considered using the calende
but this isn't suitable on this occasion. I would appreciate help wit
this, thanks
