Dates Switching from Form to Cell

I have a form with 2 date fields which have some formatting options in the VBA code.

When I put in a date like 10/08/2018 in the form... when it puts the date in to the corresponding cell on submission, it's switching the date to 08/10/2018.

I've formatted the cells to dd/mm/yyyy and the code in the VBA is:

Code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()    With DOBTextBox
        .Value = dDate
        .NumberFormat = "dd/mm/yyyy"
    End With
End Sub




Private Sub DOBTextBox_Exit(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean)
    With Me.DOBTextBox
        If Len(.Text) > 0 Then
            If Not .Text Like "##/##/####" Then
                MsgBox "Invalid DOB date format" & Chr(10) & "Please re-enter as dd/mm/yyyy", vbCritical, "Invalid Format"
                Cancel = True
            Else
                dDate = DateValue(.Text)
            End If
        End If
    End With
End Sub


Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
    With SessionsBox
        .Value = dDate2
        .NumberFormat = "dd/mm/yyyy"
    End With
End Sub




Private Sub SessionsBox_Exit(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean)
    With Me.SessionsBox
        If Len(.Text) > 0 Then
            If Not .Text Like "##/##/####" Then
                MsgBox "Invalid Session date format" & Chr(10) & "Please re-enter as dd/mm/yyyy", vbCritical, "Invalid Format"
                Cancel = True
            Else
                dDate2 = DateValue(.Text)
            End If
        End If
    End With
End Sub

Any ideas on how to stop the numbers from switching please?

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
