Default Date Conversion

Good morning Gurus

I have a cell into which the following string is entered "14FEB2005"... This
is a value extracted from a file. This is currently being handled as a text
by Excel. What could be the formula I need to transform this value into a
date like "14-feb-2005" and have it treated like a real date?

I tried to use Date (mid(),mid(),mid()).. but got an error for the month
conversion... Any other suggestion?

Thanks a lot

Michel
