Wow....I think I might have forgotten everything I knew about Excel!

EditFORMAT????.....NO!

FormatCellsNumber....Yes. (sheesh!)

Correction of my previous post.

That should be:
EditFormatNumber
\Category: TEXT


Does that help?

I think you could either:

EditFormat
\Category: TEXT
So anything you type in the cell will be treated as text.

OR

Type an apostrophe before the number, forcing Excel to treat the input as
text.
Example:
A1: '02/2668

Does that help?

If I type a serial 02/2668 into Excel it gets confused and thinks it is
February in the year 2668. This then confuses me. Is there a way of
straightening the matter.
