date auto correct
Hi
It sounds as though your Regional Setting are set to US rather than UK
Control PanelRegional SettingsChoose UK
AS for the second part of your question, either pre-format the cell as
Text before entering 3/4 or place a single quote in front of the entry
'3/4. The quote won't show up in the cell, but it will force the entry
to be text.

I have two problems with regards to date auto correct:
1) when i enter 4/6 - ie 4 June as i want ddmmyyyy - it automatically
changes to 06-Apr when i actually want 04-Jun. I have looked through
all the
options i can find and changed defaults to yyyymmdd (although i would
like is
at ddmmyyy, but that is not an option on the list).
2) secondly i sometimes need to have a cell that says 3/4 or 1/2
without it
automatically chaging this to a date. how do i switch this off?
