    So in settings you've changed format and it doesn't work ?.

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\DEFAULT\Control Panel\International
    Value name: sShortDate, Value data: dd/MM/yyyy (or any other format)

    yes on the right corner of my windows it says 07-09-2015
    and the VAPProject on excel is

    TextBox6.Value = Format(Date, "dd-mm-yyyy")
    TextBox7.Value = Format(DateAdd("d", 30, TextBox6.Value), "dd-mm-yyyy")
    TextBox8.Value = Application.VLookup(Me.ComboBox1, Sheets("Addresses").Range("A:G"), 7, False)

    Have you tried format cells -Custom

    Select the column containing the dates, go to Data and choose Text to Column, choose delimited and click next
    and uncheck all delimiters and click next, Click on date and choose right format for the dates (default DMY).

    You can change it in excel, right click on cell or group of cells, chose format cells, click on "date" then choose the format you want.

    Wow, thank goodness it wasn't one of them and it was temp folder, I have I think a hundred updates for office.

    Glad it worked out and you're all set, honestly wasn't thinking of this one, could have run through too many things to try.
