Hi all,

Can anyone please help with the code to make a user form open to today's date? As far as I can work out the below code should open the form when workbook is opened and at today's date but doesn't seem to work could anyone please help?

Code:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Form.Show
Form.Calendar1.Value = Date
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
Do you have a "Control" on the Form by the name "calendar1"?
What kind of a control is it a textbox / combobox?
If you do you will have to set the Text/Label/Caption property of the

form.controls("calendar1'").text=date

Does your FORM have a name?

In the form load procedure

put your

Me.Calendar1.Value = Date

since the focus has been passed to the form
