Damn Dates

[robzrob]

I've got this code line: || Worksheets("Leave").Range("B6").Value =
UserForm1.TextBox2.Value || to prompt the user for a date which will
be input in UK mode and which I want to appear in B6 in UK mode, ie dd/
mm/yy. It's putting it in B6 ok, but wrongly, eg if I type in
10/08/09 (10 AUG 09), 08/10/09 appears in B6.

Range("B6") = CDate(Me.TextBox1.Text)

Sorry, it didn't like that, wouldn't run. I tried it 2 ways:
replacing the whole of
Worksheets("Leave").Range("B6").Value = UserForm1.TextBox2.Value with:

Range("B6") = CDate(Me.TextBox1.Text)

and also replacing part of my current line with yours like this:

Worksheets("Leave").Range("B6") = CDate(Me.TextBox1.Text)

Hi,

You are welcome, keep in mind that VBA knows only American dateformat.

I think we should scrap both and use yy/mm/dd - that would solve a lot
of problems!
