Thanks for your input. The reason I would enter the date as 111904
is that
it is much faster to enter the data using the numeric key pad. I
would think
that most people who enter higher volumes of data would NOT want to
be
entering the date as 11/19/04, unless you were getting paid by the
hour. HA

Why would you enter a date like 111904? To me that is 111 thousand
904.
You need to enter dates in excel so excel knows they are dates!
Thus you
need to use date delimiters like / or - etc or using VBA, thus
either

11/19/04

or go here and use Chip's macro
