Look if the cells are format as Text
Select the cells and use Ctrl-1

Hi, I have Excel 2003 and have been working with 2000 for a while (hate
that
new feature with error checking,etc.)

Anyways, I have a problem when trying to enter a date (ie. entering as
2/15/2005 or 2-15-2005) it's always entering it as a text format (ie.
'2/15/2005).

Well, this is leaving a problem with me because I can't change it to a
different date format now because it's recognizing it as a text instead
of a
date.

I never had this problem with Excel 2000, I just entering the date and
it
automatically enters it as a date. What the heck is going on with Excel
2003
(so far I'm not impressed that even a little thing as entering a date
Microsoft manages to complicate it)
