Current Date Code in form

T

Tony

I want to have the current date to appear in a form formatted as mm/dd. The
textbox name is ProcessDate.

This will give you the current date:

=TODAY()

and if you want to force the format:

=TEXT(TODAY(),"mm/dd")

However, it wil change every time you open the file on a new day.

Hope this helps.

Pete, here is the resot of the code with your suggestion near the bottom
which returns a "compile error".

Private Sub LienRegistration_Click()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim nResult As Long
resp = MsgBox(Prompt:="Do you want to clear values?", Buttons:=vbYesNo)
If resp = vbYes Then
Application.Goto Reference:="NFNRRegistrationBusinessName"
Selection.ClearContents
Application.Goto Reference:="NFNRRegistrationAddress"
Selection.ClearContents
Application.Goto Reference:="NFNRRegistrationCity"
Selection.ClearContents
Application.Goto Reference:="NFNRRegistrationPostalCode"
Selection.ClearContents
Application.Goto Reference:="NFNRRegistrationIndDOB"

Application.Goto Reference:="NFNRRegistrationBN9Number"

The date is not showing in the form. Also, after the form shows I get a
Runtime 424 error. Here is the code I am using with your suggestion:

Private Sub LienRegistration_Click()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim nResult As Long
resp = MsgBox(Prompt:="Do you want to clear values?", Buttons:=vbYesNo)
If resp = vbYes Then
Application.Goto Reference:="NFNRRegistrationBusinessName"
Selection.ClearContents
LienRegistrationForm.Show
ProcessDate.Text = Format(Date, "mm/dd")
Sheets("Menu").Select
End If
End Sub

Note Jacob's reply.

In VBA Format is equivalent to =TEXT, and Date is equivalent to =TODAY
() in worksheet formulae.

'I hope processdate text box is on the form. If so
LienRegistrationForm.Show
LienRegistrationForm.ProcessDate.Text = Format(Date, "mm/dd")


OR use the form initialize event and assign the text box with date as below


Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
ProcessDate.Text = Format(Date, "mm/dd")
End Sub

So you havent tried that right...In VBA Date returns current date..

TODAY() is a worksheet function and not a vBA


If this post helps click Yes

opens.

Private Sub LienRegistration_Click()

If resp = vbYes Then
Application.Goto Reference:="NFNRRegistrationBusinessName"
Selection.ClearContents
Application.Goto Reference:="NFNRRegistrationAddress"
Selection.ClearContents
Application.Goto Reference:="NFNRRegistrationCity"
Selection.ClearContents
Application.Goto Reference:="NFNRRegistrationPostalCode"
Selection.ClearContents
Application.Goto Reference:="NFNRRegistrationIndDOB"
Selection.ClearContents
Application.Goto Reference:="NFNRRegistrationBN9Number"
Selection.ClearContents
Application.Goto Reference:="NFNRRegistrationAssignedCollectorName"
Selection.ClearContents
Application.Goto Reference:="NFNRRegistrationMORNumber"
Selection.ClearContents
Application.Goto Reference:="NFNRRegistrationFileNumber"
Selection.ClearContents
Application.Goto Reference:="NFNRRegistrationTradeName"
Selection.ClearContents

Jacob, I am not sure why, but now it works. Didn't make any changes from the
code I just showed you but it works. Thanks so much for your patience.
