Hi,

With PeriodEnding set to "Saturday, August 19, 2006" this method works fine with the Mac but fails ("Invalid Date format!") with the PC (XP);

  Dim d As New date// Add NEW
  Dim b As boolean

  b=parsedate(PeriodEnding.text,d)

  // Check the parsed date for incorrect entry.
  If b <> True Then
    MsgBox "Invalid Date format!"
    // PeriodEnding.SetFocus//Go back to fix date
  Else
    If d.DayOfWeek <> 7 Then // 7 is Saturday
      PeriodEnding.SetFocus//Go back to fix date
      MsgBox "The Period Ending entry is not a Saturday"
      PeriodEnding.text=d.ShortDate
    Else
      // was a Sat., update display to a longdate
      PeriodEnding.text=d.LongDate
    End If
  End If

Does the PC need some special instructions to understand English?

Tia,

Robert Poland
