Most of the time Excel will automatically format cells that have date
formulas.

Glad you got it straightened out!

It didn't work...but I get the idea....treating a date/day like a
formula

Try this:

Enter the first date in a cell, say, A1. The first date must be either
a
Monday or Wednesday date.

A1 = 8/11/2008 (Monday)

Enter this formula in A2 and copy down as needed:

=A1+IF(WEEKDAY(A1)=2,2,5)

I have days that repeat Mon Wed Mon Wed, etc... on a schedule. Next
to
those
days are dates like 8/25/08 and 8/27/08.

It would be NICE if I could highlight those two dates, than using my
mouse
move to the lower right hand corner of that highlighted box, so that
the
"+"
plus sign appears. Than drag that box down so I get new dates like
9/01/08
and 9/03/08 etc for a few months.
