See if this code helps

'StrDate = Textbox1.Text
StrDate = "6/9/08"
'get the 1 or 2 digits before 1st slash and convert to number
MonthNum = Val(Left(StrDate, InStr(StrDate, "/") - 1))
'get the string after the 1st slash
StrDate = Mid(StrDate, InStr(StrDate, "/") + 1)
'get the month number before the slash and convert to number
DayNum = Val(Left(StrDate, InStr(StrDate, "/") - 1))

'get the year after the slash
YearNum = Val(Mid(StrDate, InStr(StrDate, "/") + 1))
'add 2000 to year number
YearNum = YearNum + 2000
'convert date to serial format
SerDate = DateSerial(YearNum, MonthNum, DayNum)
'Print the Date in required format
Textbox1.Text = Format(SerDate, "dd-mmm-yy")

It is much easier to wrok with Textboxes when using Dates because they are
text strings and not a serial date which can change with regional settings.
Try this code

StrDate = Textbox1.text
'get the 1 or 2 digits before 1st slash and convert to number
DayNum = Val(StrDate,Instr(StrDate,"/")-1)
'get the string after the 1st slash
StrDate = mid(StrDate,Instr(StrDate)+1)
'get the month number before the slash and convert to number
MonthNum = Val(StrDate,Instr(StrDate,"/")-1)

'get the year after the slash
YearNum = val(mid(StrDate,Instr(StrDate)+1))
'add 2000 to year number
YearNum = YearNum + 2000
'convert date to serial format
SerDate=dateserial(YearNum,MonthNum,DayNum)
'Print the Date in required format
Textbox1.text = format(SerDate,"dd-mmm-yy")

Mr.Bob,i just tested your code,it hasn't given me the desired results.I have
entered a date value in Textbox1, 04/06/08(4thJune2008) ,it converted to 06-
Apr-08.You misunderstood my question,in India users used to enter date values
in dd/mm/yy format.
