Default show the current year

is there a way for a macro to insert the current year
into a cell. i have some formulas that calculate
holidays from an excel book, and they all have to refer
back to a cell containing the year. however when i tried
to put in a function such as =TODAY() in a cell and
formatted it as custom "yyyy" it still displays 1/13/04
and the formulas return a #NUM error. so i think a macro
might be able to just input "2004" into a cell somehow.
i have been playing with some VBA functions, but i am
sure that it is just something i havent learned yet.
TIA...spence
