    CDate not working

    I have the following code to populate a ComboBox in User form with a unique list of dates, where the CDate function does not seem to work. I have also used the CLng function but that does not seem to work either. The routine works fine if I have a list of Names using the CStr function.

    Can someone offer me a solution please

    Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
    Dim Found As Long, i As Long
    Dim cel As Range

    'Create date List
    MyList = "valEndDate" ' This is a list of Dates

    Set DataList = Range(MyList)
    ReDim FArray(DataList.Cells.Count)
    i = -1

    For Each cel In DataList
    On Error Resume Next
    Found = Application.WorksheetFunction.Match(CDate(cel), FArray, 0)
    If Found > 0 Then GoTo Exists
    i = i + 1
    FArray(i) = cel
    Exists:
    Found = 0
    Next
    ReDim Preserve FArray(i)
    Call BubbleSort(FArray)
    ComboBox1.ListRows = i + 1
    ComboBox1.List() = FArray
    End Sub

    Many thanks for assistance/sglxl

    Re: CDate not working

    I have never used dictionary object before and seems good idea. However I am getting a couple of problems:

    - list of dates are coming up in US format whereas the worksheet is formatted in UK format - dd-mmm-yy
    - I am also getting at least one element from a different column not related to "valEndDates"
    - Finally I do not know why this is happening but the screen also locks and I have no access to the individual cells but can save the workbook, close it and generally use the Ribbon - once wkbk closed and reopened access is available again

    I am using Window 7 with Office 2010

    Your post does not comply with Rule 3 of our Forum RULES. Use code tags around code. Posting code without them makes your code hard to read and difficult to be copied for testing. Highlight your code and click the # at the top of your post window. For more information about these and other tags, found here
