strings in text box control source

Can I use a string variable in the control source of a textbox.
eg: =DateSerial(Year([str_formdate]),Month([str_Formdate]),1)
Shows the first of the month of str_formdate. str_formdate is defined as
Date

If so, this does not work...what might?

The text box displays #name?
