    ActiveX Textbox Date Formatting

    Hello all,
    Lot's of useful stuff on this forum, its been a great help but today I have something I am a little unclear about and I hope someone can help.

    I have a 2007 spreadsheet (not a Userform!) with an ActiveX Textbox Control that needs to hold a date, i.e., display 12/31/2010, not the serial date number--and also validate entries made by the user. I've seen mention of OWC, Date Pickers, etc. but I think these may only work for Userforms. A date picker would be ideal, but any suggestions are welcome.

    TIA!

    Using ActiveX controls on workbooks that will be distributed to other users can cause problems if the control is not available on their computer. See the alternatives here
    Hope that helps.
