Either preformat the cell as Text, then do the data entry.

Or

Start your entry with an apostrophe:
'1/15

I have excel 2003
I have a spreadsheet and on one worksheet I enter the date that documents
are turned in.
the cells are formatted to date and to show up like 1/10
Problem: I can't eneter 1/15! I can enter 1/14 and I can enter 1/16 but if I
enter 1/15, it changes to 1/16 as soon as I either hit enter or click into
another cell.
what's up with this??
