Hi,

I'm looking for a code to transform a number value in a userform to a
date value after enter is pressed. For example, in the UF, the user
would enter 010100, which would change to the date format 01-Jan-2000
after enter (or tab) is pressed or another cell selected. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,

Peter

as long as you can legislate that they type it correctly (!)

use the exit event of the textbox (for this example called TxtDate)

txtDate.text=Format(DateSerial(Right(TxtDate, 2), Mid(txtDate, 3, 2),
Left(txtDate, 2)), "dd-mmm-yyyy")


(note I'm in the UK so have taken your date as DDMMYY - change the date
serial around as necessary)

Thanks for replying!
However, no matter what I do, VB returns the message that it's a
mismatch...
I'm just a newbie at VB so any additional help would be appreciated
;-)

Thanks again,

Peter

As I tested it first, I know it works - but maybe you haven't swapped
the date around as I suggested - 010100 is not a good example as I
don't know if the first 01 is January or the day!

IF you need help with the debugging, you can email me at



(remove all _pink_meat_ from the email address for it to work!)
