Date Value in wrong format on userform
 

I have a textbox that displays the value of a cell(E2), but the worksheet displays:
31 October 2006, yet the userform textbox value shows 10/31/06.
Is there a way i can change this to display as the sheet view (31 October 2006) ?

Hi Corey,

Try:

'=============
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Me.TextBox1.Value = _
Format(Range("E2").Value, "dd/mm/yy")
End Sub
'<<=============

Hi Corey,

Or, more consistent with your indicated format:

'=============
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Me.TextBox1.Value = _
Format(Range("E2").Value, "dd mmmm yyyy")
End Sub
'<<=============

Me.TextBox1.Value = _
Format(Range("E2").Value, "dd/mmmm/yy")

This format returns the month as October!

If your userform knows the address of the cell, or has a range that
points to it, then the .Text property should display the date as it is
seen in the worksheet...

Hi Mike,

points to it, then the .Text property should display the date as it is
seen in the worksheet...

I think that you will find that, without an intervening format instruction,
the textbox will speak with VBA's intrinsic American accent!

Hi Mike,

I withdraw my comment with apologies!

Me.TextBox1.Text = Range("E2").Text

will display the worksheet's visual representation of the date,

Either:

Me.TextBox1.Value = _
Format(Range("E2").Value, "dd mmmm yyyy")

or

Me.TextBox1.Text = Range("E2").Text

worked for me.

The first stipulates the format of the TextBox, the second returns the text
as seen in the worksheet

Delete the ControlSource property value and retry the suggested code

I seem to still get, in the textbox properties under the text tab
the10/31/2006 even though i did not put it there.

I think this may be causing the absence of 31 October 2006.

I can type that in the text tab but i then get no text displayed on the
userform at all.

tried the
Me.TextBox1.Text = Range("E2").Text

but i still get the same 10/31/2006???

Ummm,

I found that now if the date in cell E2 changes the date on the userform
does NOT.

As there is no link to the cell.
I tried leaving the :
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Me.TextBox1.Text = Range("E2").Text
End Sub



but it seems to work initially then NOT. ??

It seems to be if i go intot he code and check the userform agian,
then exit the date updates on the userform,
then remains the same until i go into the code angain?

Is that strange?

Is there a REFRESH code to make this happen ?

Hi Corey,

Replace your code with the following:

'=============
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
With Me.TextBox1
.ControlSource = "E2"
.Text = Format(.Text, "dd mmmm yyyy")
End With
End Sub

'--------------------

Private Sub TextBox1_Change()
With Me.TextBox1
.Text = Format(.Text, "dd mmmm yyyy")
End With
End Sub
'<<=============

Hi,

A word of caution with the .Text property.
If the column is not wide enough to display the date and instead
displayed ####### that is what will be returned in the textbox.

Cheers

If your userform knows the address of the cell, or has a range that
points to it, then the .Text property should display the date as it is
seen in the worksheet...
