'default values for user form
With txtDate
        .Text = "dd/mm/yyyy"
        .SetFocus
        .SelStart = 0
        .SelLength = Len(.Text)
    End With
Me.txtDate = Date
txtDate.Value = Format(CDate(txtDate), "dd/mm/yyyy")

Show numbers in thousands?
Use a custom number format of #,##0,K. Each comma after the final 0 will divide the displayed number by another thousand
Hello,

I didn't want to start a new thread so I'm hoping someone can help me with this similar issue.

I'm using the below code to set a "To" and "From" date range in a UserForm. The dates in that range are in "dd/mm/yyyy" format, but the textbox keeps on displaying them in "mm/dd/yyyy" format for some reason.

Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks.

Code:
Private Sub UserForm_Activate()

    txtFrom.Value = Sheets("RestCalc").Range("W1").Value
    txtTo.Value = Sheets("RestCalc").Range("Y1").Value
    
End Sub
