Does anyone know why this line of code won't work? I'm trying to define Date as the contents of cell "A2".

Date is a reserved word in VBA, so it shouldn't be used as a variable name.
On the right of the assignment operator, Date is a native VBA function that returns the date. On the left, it is a statement that sets the date. Choose a different variable name.
Entia non sunt multiplicanda sine necessitate
I personally find putting 'My' before a variable name helps to ease these problems.
For example: myDate, myRange, myObject
Hope this helps.

Cleaning up when you're done. Mark your thread [SOLVED] if you received your answer.
I like the tip from PED - give each variable a prefix letter according to the variable type, e.g.
lMyVar is a long, iMyVar is an integer, sMyVar is a string ... and so on. Simple to do, but it does make re-reading old code much easier.
Completely agree with Andrew.
variations of the Hungarian naming conventions are popular http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leszyns...ing_convention
