    will be fine.

    But as you written in a profile that your location is "Europe" your local settingd could be quite different. So make sure you enter the date in a CBDA as string following your regional settings.

    Other options could be:
    a) use a calendar control for date input
    b) use separate textboxes (or may be dropdown lists) for day, month and year and compose a date out of these elements.

    It has been fixed with your help.

    Since we are talking about date and you actually talking about something I am trying to understand , If you dont mind explaing a bit more further.

    So was doing userform filter date which(dante helped me a lot) he used Cdate which is completely new to me, and most of the time the date showing on combobox is mm/dd/yyyy, sometimes it get my pc format date dd/mm/yyyy it's unstable can make some confussion to the users. Not telling your to fix just need some insight
