I have a workbook that contains tabs such as 04-27-2014, 04-28-2014....etc. I dont want any other format than that. Can I input an error message if a user trys to enter a different format such as 4-27-2014 or 4-27-14? Thanks in advance.

This works - perhaps some variant?

Could you provide a sample sheet so that I can learn from this alittle. I dont do much with VB.
This is a workbook Event macro, it goes in the ThisWorkbook module in the VBA editor. It runs itself based on the event being watched. In this case it triggers itself anytime a new sheet is added.
1) Open the VBA Editor
2) Open the ThisWorkbook module
3) Paste in the event code given above
4) Close the VBA editor
5) Save your workbook as a .xlsm to preserve the vba
6) Try adding a new sheet
