Hi guys,

I am new to VBA and I need some help please.

I created a calendar in vba using different sources that I found online.

It I supposed to pop up in two cells on my Excel spreadsheet when I Click on those cells, and it does.
The problem is that when I click on any date, it will not fill the selected date in the Excel worksheet cell. So I guess the code for this specific action is wrong.

Here is what I have done so far: I created a form with multiple labels (contain the days of the week) and 2 image controls, one to contain the left icon to scroll previous months and one to scroll next month.

This s the code on the form:

Code:
Option Explicit
Private curMonth As Date

Private Function FirstCalSun(ref_date As Date) As Date
  
    FirstCalSun = DateSerial(Year(ref_date), _
                  Month(ref_date), 1) - (Weekday(ref_date) - 1)
End Function
Private Sub Build_Calendar(first_sunday As Date)
    Dim lDate As MSForms.Label
    Dim i As Integer, a_date As Date
    For i = 1 To 42
        a_date = first_sunday + (i - 1)
        Set lDate = Me.Controls("Label_" & Format(i, "00"))
        lDate.Caption = Day(a_date)
        If Month(a_date) <> Month(curMonth) Then
            lDate.ForeColor = &H80000011
        Else
            If Weekday(a_date) = 1 Then
                lDate.ForeColor = &HC0&
            Else
                lDate.ForeColor = &H80000012
            End If
        End If
    Next
End Sub
Private Sub select_label(msForm_C As MSForms.Control)
    Dim i As Integer, sel_date As Date
    i = Split(msForm_C.Name, "_")(1) - 1
    sel_date = FirstCalSun(curMonth) + i
    
    MsgBox sel_date
End Sub
Sub ExplicitSelectCell()
Sheets("Sheet1").Activate
ActiveSheet.Range("E2", "F2").Select
End Sub
Private Sub MonthView1_DateClick(ByVal DateClicked As Date)
On Error Resume Next
ActiveCell.Value = DateClicked
  
End Sub
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Unload Me
End Sub
Private Sub Image_Left_Click()
    If Month(curMonth) = 1 Then
        curMonth = DateSerial(Year(curMonth) - 1, 12, 1)
    Else
        curMonth = DateSerial(Year(curMonth), Month(curMonth) - 1, 1)
    End If
    With Me
        .Label_MthYr.Caption = Format(curMonth, "mmmm, yyyy")
        Build_Calendar FirstCalSun(curMonth)
    End With
End Sub
Private Sub Image_Right_Click()
 If Month(curMonth) = 12 Then
        curMonth = DateSerial(Year(curMonth) + 1, 1, 1)
    Else
        curMonth = DateSerial(Year(curMonth), Month(curMonth) + 1, 1)
    End If
    With Me
        .Label_MthYr.Caption = Format(curMonth, "mmmm, yyyy")

                Set lb = ctl: lb.BackColor = &H80000005
            End If
        Next
    End With
End Sub

This is the code that is wrong:
Code:
Private Sub MonthView1_DateClick(ByVal DateClicked As Date)
On Error Resume Next

ActiveCell.Value = DateClicked
  
End Sub

And this is the code to show my calendar in cells E2 and F2 of my worksheet only.
Code:
Private Sub worksheet_selectionchange(ByVal target As Range)
If Not Application.Intersect(Range("E2"), target) Is Nothing Then
MyCalendar.Show
End If
If Not Application.Intersect(Range("F2"), target) Is Nothing Then
MyCalendar.Show
End If
End Sub

Thank you!

Highlight Duplicates
Home, Conditional Formatting, Highlight Cells, Duplicate records, OK to add pink formatting to any duplicates in selected range.
My first thought on this is that the SUB MonthView1_DateClick doesn't get called from anywhere. You should create a breakpoint in that SUB and debug the code to see if it gets called at all; and if it does, find out if DateClicked has any value.

I use a couple different calendars similar to this. I would need the Form to test it fully.

Thank you, Jeff.
I did the debug and yes, the code doesn't get called at all and I do not know how to do it.
If it helps I could post the link where I got the form and the code from.

Everything works fine, the calendar only pops up when I click on these two cells only. So, when I click on E2, the calendar pops up, I select a date, then a message box with the selected date pops up, I click ok to close it, then I close the calendar, but the date I clicked on will not be inserted in my E2 cell.

I guess I need a code in the select_label procedure below which will make the date I click on in the calendar and pops up in the MsgBox fill my excel E2 or F2 cells.

<code> Private Sub select_label(msForm_C As MSForms.Control)
'/* Capture the selected date */
Dim i As Integer, sel_date As Date
i = Split(msForm_C.Name, "_")(1) - 1
sel_date = FirstCalSun(curMonth) + i

'/* Transfer the date where you want it to go */
MsgBox sel_date

End Sub</code>

There must be a control on the form that selects the date and continues; like an OK button or something. I had an OK button, but I also tested if the end user double clicked a date. Either one of those would call your SUB MonthView1_DateClick.
