When it crashes the error is highlighted on this line:
Code:
Me.Caption = VBA.UCase$([COLOR=#ff0000][B][FONT=arial black]Format[/FONT][/B][/COLOR]$(VBA.Date, "yyyy - mmmm ")) & VBA.Day(VBA.Date) _              
                   & "   (" & VBA.Date & ")"

I changed the declaration from this:
Code:
Private Declare Function GetKeyState Lib "user32" (ByVal nVirtKey As Long) As Integer

to this:
Code:
Private Declare PtrSafe Function GetKeyState Lib "user32" (ByVal nVirtKey As LongPtr) As Integer

but it still crashes.

The code is from a datepicker application that I found in order to try and find something other than excels own 'DTPicker' which crashes on 64bit machines.

Select data in PDF. Paste to Microsoft Word. Copy from Word and paste to Excel.
Ran the macro here Win 10 / 64 bit and it works.

The Caption for UserForm1 shows : 2019 - MARCH 22 (3/22/2019)
