Is there a way to format a text box in a form so that I can enter a date like this: 110502 and have appear in the text box like this: 11/05/02? I can't find any way to do it in the properties window of the text box. I don't want to have to type in the / symbol.

Do you hate GETPIVOTDATA?
Prevent GETPIVOTDATA. Select inside a PivotTable. In the Analyze tab of the ribbon, open the dropown next to Options and turn it off
Hi Eddie,

Pls put this code on your Userform.
Change the event Exit to suit your needs. :biggrin:

<PRE>
Private Sub TextBox1_Exit(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean)
With TextBox1
If IsDate(.Text) Then Exit Sub
.Text = Format(DateSerial(Right(.Text, 2), _
Left(.Text, 2), Mid(.Text, 3, 2)), "MM/DD/YY")
End With
End Sub
</PRE>
