Default Find & replace with VBA

Good day, i pleeeease need some help with the following:

(I am not a programmer so it may be a bit clumsy)

I am downloading a spreadsheet from SAP in wk1 format. The columns with
dates in, i format so that i can use the spreadsheet in Access; by using
the following code:

The original format is: 20040501

Range("H:H,L:L,M:M,T:T,X:X,AB:AB").Select
Selection.NumberFormat = "d-mmm-yy"

Columns("H:H").Select
Selection.TextToColumns Destination:=Range("H1"),
DataType:=xlFixedWidth, _
FieldInfo:=Array(0, 5), TrailingMinusNumbers:=True

It then looks like: 01-May-04, which is great.

However my problem is the fields that contain this:
00000000, this then becomes 01-Jan-00 and in the formula bar it looke
like this 1900/01/00.
I then need to remove this so i used the macro recorder and searched for
1900/01/00 and replaced with nothing, it worked but when i try and run
the code it won't work?
I then replaced the search criteria with 01-Jan-00 and it still does not
work ?

If i use the search function, manually, it finds 1900/01/00.

Any help is very welcome.
