Default replace . to / in dates

try setting the column's format to TEXT before you run the change

I would like to change . to / of date fields in column M. If I try to find
and replace individually all works Ok but if I use replace all it seem to
change the date. For example when I use replace all for 08.03.2008 it ends up
as 03/08/2008 but 18.03.2008 changes OK to 18/03/2008. Anyone know what I can
do to stop day and month being switched when replace all is used?

Thank you
