At the risk of sounding like an idiot (I'm already feeling like one, so what
the heck), when I select a cell and type 'control+' either simultaneously or
seperately, I still don't get a date stamp. Simultaneously typed, I get an
Insert window, seperately typed, I get a '+' character in the cell.

It doesn't seem to matter if I use the number pad or the main keyboard. So,
what the heck am I doing? FYI, I have Excel 2003, SP1.

Thanks for the help!
