Hi,
Can someone tell me why my listbox suddenly started flipping the date format form dd/mm/yyyy to mm/dd/yyyy. Obviously I must have changed something but I cannot figure out what
The database which is the source shows the correct format.

This is the listbox related part of my reset procedure for the userform
VBA Code:
        .lblMths.Caption = "Upcoming Transactions."
        .lstTrans.Visible = True
        .lstTrans.Width = 470
        .lstTrans.Height = 200
        .lstTrans.ColumnCount = 7
        .lstTrans.ColumnHeads = False
        .lstTrans.TextAlign = fmTextAlignLeft
        .lstTrans.ColumnWidths = "70,130,120,70,70,0,0"
        If DbLastRow > 1 Then
            .lstTrans.List = Range("Database").Value
        Else
            .lstTrans.List = DbWs.Range("A2:G2").Value
        End If
This is the code behind the listbox. This selects the row clicked on a shows it in a single line listbox. This too now shows the date incorrectly.
VBA Code:
Private Sub lstTrans_Click()
Dim i As Long

    Me.txtRowNo.Value = Val(Me.lstTrans.ListIndex + 1)
    i = Me.txtRowNo.Value + 1
    Me.lstTrans.ColumnHeads = False
    If Me.lstTrans.ListIndex <> -1 Then
        Me.lstSelected.Height = 18
        Me.lstSelected.Font.Bold = True
        Me.lstSelected.List = DbWs.Range("A" & i, "G" & i).Value
        Me.lstSelected.ColumnCount = 7
        Me.lstSelected.ColumnHeads = False
        Me.lstSelected.ColumnWidths = "72,122,122,70,70,0,0"
    End If

The database is simple and userform, a screenshot below
Any ideas?

Excel Facts

Easy bullets in Excel
If you have a numeric keypad, press Alt+7 on numeric keypad to type a bullet in Excel.
When the date is loaded into the listbox or even when you pass the date of a control to the cell, it is put in the English format "mm/dd/yyyy". One option is to change the format with the following:

I also added the format for the amounts, if you don't want it you can delete the lines.

To load the listbox.
VBA Code:
    .lblMths.Caption = "Upcoming Transactions."
    With .lstTrans
      .Visible = True
      .Width = 470
      .Height = 200
      .ColumnCount = 7
      .ColumnHeads = False
      .TextAlign = fmTextAlignLeft
      .ColumnWidths = "70;130;120;70;70;0;0"
      If DbLastRow > 1 Then
        .List = Range("Database").Value
      Else
        .List = DbWs.Range("A2:G2").Value
      End If
      '
      For i = 0 To .ListCount - 1
        .List(i, 0) = CDate(.List(i, 0))
        .List(i, 3) = Format(.List(i, 3), "$#,##0.00")
        .List(i, 4) = Format(.List(i, 4), "$#,##0.00")
      Next
    End With

For the event click on the listbox
VBA Code:
Private Sub lstTrans_Click()
  Dim i As Long

  Me.txtRowNo.Value = Val(Me.lstTrans.ListIndex + 1)
  i = Me.txtRowNo.Value + 1
  Me.lstTrans.ColumnHeads = False
  If Me.lstTrans.ListIndex <> -1 Then
    With Me.lstSelected
      .Height = 18
      .Width = 470
      .Font.Bold = True
      
      .List = DbWs.Range("A" & i, "G" & i).Value
      .List(0, 1) = CDate(DbWs.Range("A" & i).Value)
      .List(0, 3) = Format(DbWs.Range("D" & i).Value, "$#,##0.00")
      .List(0, 4) = Format(DbWs.Range("E" & i).Value, "$#,##0.00")

      .ColumnCount = 7
      .ColumnHeads = False
      .ColumnWidths = "72,122,122,70,70,0,0"
    End With
  End If

Thanks for the reply but unfortunately I'm still having the same issue. The dates are entered into the database correctly, the listbox is the issue. I also noticed that a Boolean column does not display as true or false but as 1 or 0.
I have cause of the issue but cannot figure out how to fix it.

I recently made a post Intermittent Row Source Issue as per the advice on this thread I changed all my RowSources to Lists. I have not had the debug issue since but that is where the date is going wrong.
If I change the line from the commented out line to the other line it fixes the issue but then I will have the other issue as per my previous post.

VBA Code:
With .lstTrans
            If DbLastRow > 1 Then
'                .List = Range("Database").Value
                .RowSource = "Database!Database"
            Else
'                .List = DbWs.Range("A2:G2").Value
                .RowSource = "Database!A2:G2"
            End If
End With

Sorry one quick question. How do I format the Boolean back to Boolean.
I tried this below, it recognises it as true but displays it as 0 or -1 even with this code.
VBA Code:
Dim NoEnd as Boolean
NoEnd = BgtWs.Range("C" & RowNo).Value
               If NoEnd = False Then 'originally I tried 0 and 1 and that did not work either
                    .List(0, 2) = False
                ElseIf NoEnd = True Then
                    .List(0, 2) = True
                End If

You could consider trying to read each cell in your range into a variant array as Text - This should preserve how the cell is formatted & hopefully, display correctly in your listbox

VBA Code:
Me.lblMths.Caption = "Upcoming Transactions."
    With Me.lstTrans
      .Visible = True
      .Width = 470
      .Height = 200
      .ColumnCount = 7
      .ColumnHeads = False
      .TextAlign = fmTextAlignLeft
      .ColumnWidths = "70;130;120;70;70;0;0"
   
      .List = GetList(Range("DataBase"))
     
    End With

Place following in a STANDARD module

VBA Code:
Function GetList(ByVal Target As Range) As Variant
    Dim arr()       As Variant
    Dim r           As Long, c As Long
   
    ReDim arr(1 To Target.Rows.Count, 1 To Target.Columns.Count)
   
    For r = 1 To UBound(arr, 1)
        For c = 1 To UBound(arr, 2)
            arr(r, c) = Target.Cells(r, c).Text
        Next c
    Next r
    GetList = arr
End Function

Code not tested but if suggestion does what you want you can use function in your project for other listboxes if need to overcome similar issues.

Hope Helpful

In the listbox the values are stored as text.
According to your image the true/false values are in column "G"
