Hello forum friends, I hope I can explain this so it makes sense.

I have a multipage userform with two pages, each page has 7 text boxes and 3 combo boxes. Everything works fine but I just noticed during some testing that when I hit the 'tabkey' to move away from the last textbox (which happens to be a textbox where the user enters a date), the date does NOT reformat to a date format like it does with the other textboxes where dates are entered. Not sure if it matters but the next item that the 'tab' key takes you to is the OK commandbutton. The 'tabindex' starts at 0 for the first textbox and goes up to 9 for all of the boxes on the userform.

I did notice however, that if I keep hitting the tabkey until the cursor is back in the first textbox on the userform, THEN the date in the last textbox formats correctly! I am hoping that there is a simple solution to this and that formatting the last textbox as soon as you tab away from it can and will occur. I hope someone has a suggestion for me. The code for the textbox in question is below.

VBA Code: 
Private Sub OASTextBox_Exit(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean)
Dim dt As Date, tx As String
With OASTextBox
If .Value = "" Then Exit Sub
    If IsDate(.Value) Then
        tx = .Value
        dt = Format(.Value, "m/d/yyyy")
        
        If dt > Date Then
            MsgBox "Please enter the year as four digits."
            Cancel = True
        Else
            .Value = dt
        
        End If
    
    Else
        MsgBox "Please enter a valid date!"
        Cancel = True
        .Value = Empty
    End If
End With

End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Enter current date or time
Ctrl+: enters current time. Ctrl+; enters current date. Use Ctrl+: Ctrl+; Enter for current date & time.
Sort by date Sort by votes
Odd. The Exit event of the last control on a Page doesn't fire. Try moving your formatting code to the AfterUpdate event

@mikerickson thanks for your suggestion. Being a bit of a noob, I'm unsure how to proceed. I don't have any AfterUpdate events in my code. It's weird that the date will format if I tab my way back to the first textbox so something is preventing it when you first tab away from the last textbox.

To show the context, I am posting the whole VBA for this particular userform. The two textboxes in question are OASTextBox and SOASTextBox. Like I said, everything works great except for this one little snag...!!

@Mike would there be a better result by handling the date checking in a Class?

This problem is the date handling per se, but triggering that handling. As far as classes, neither the Exit nor the AfterUpdate event are avaliabe to WithEvents Textboxes in Class modules.

@leopardhawk , AfterUpdate is one of the various events that you can code for a textbox.
Just change the declaration line for your current Exit event
VBA Code: 
Private Sub OASTextBox_AfterUpdate()
