Hi,

I have some code for user forms that require date entry. Some of the date
fields can be left blank but when the code runs it errors out because my code
refers to a blank variable as a cdate. I have phrased this statement within
an if so that it should only run if the date field is not blank but it still
comes up as a type mismatch error.

Any ideas? Let me know if you need more explanation.

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

It would help if you could show us your code.

Rick

Hi Rick,

See code section below. I know its not the best. Still quite new to this!

Thanks,

If FromFullDate.Value <> "" Then
Sheets("Template").Select
Range("A9").Activate
j = 9
While CDate(ActiveCell.Value) <> CDate(FromFullDate.Value)
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Activate
j = j + 1
Wend
If ActiveCell.Interior.ColorIndex = 1 Then
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
MsgBox Prompt:="" & CDate(FromFullDate.Value) & " is a weekend or a bank
holiday. Please select a weekday.", _
Buttons:=vbOKOnly + vbExclamation
FromFullDate = ""
Exit Sub
End If
End If

While the code is not how I would have written it, it appears to work fine
from the test I did. Tell us *exactly* what problem are you having that
prompted you to ask your question (give details so we can reproduce the
problem on our own computers)?
