Default date entered wrong or not as a date

Hi,
In Excel 2000, I am trying to enter a series of dates, say from july 1st
2005 to february 28, 2006.
Excel does not recognize this as a date, in however form I enter it,
even if I format the cell to force it to recognize a date.
I have checked my regional settings, and updated them to use four-digit
years as a default, but this does not help. Can anyone help?
I need the worksheet to recognize a date and to be able to do
calculations with it. Now, when I enter the date in a cell and do
DAY(cell), I get a VALUE error. I suppose that means excel does not
recognize the value in the cell as a date.

Thanks for any help.
