European Date does not work from a textbox
 

I have my cells format in a sheet as European date (dd/mm/yyyy - UK).
When I typed the date in or used the code, cells(1,1) = #12/31/2006#,
to input the date, it converted very well. Cell A1 will show
31/12/2006 and it is a date value.

But when I used a userform to do the input, cell A1 showed 31/12/2006,
but it showed as a text not as a date. I also tried to use
Format(Me.textbox1, "dd/mm/yyyy;@"), but it still shown as a text.

Does anyone know how you can fix this? Thanks in advanced.

Thank you so much, Bob. It works well. Why did I think of that?
