Date values in a dropdown box

wcassell · Mar 12th, 2002, 08:09 AM

I've created a dropdown box (using the control toolbar), and linked the data to a range of dates. When I scroll through the values in the box they look correct, but when I select a date and move on to another cell the date shows up as 37283 (or similar). Where do I set the format for the value in the box?

Thanks,
Will

Try this code for the combo box

Private Sub ComboBox1_Change()
ComboBox1.Value = Format(ComboBox1.Value, "m/d/yy")
End Sub
