Default How to enter excel dates for last year?

Hi gang,

Its tax time and I'm trying to enter my expenses ito EXCEL for last year
(don't even remind me I should do this as the year progresses).

Anyway, for speed of entry I would like to enter just mm/dd. Excel will
complete the year for me as 2010.

I could change the system date, but this has bad reprocussions, especaill
when multi-tasking.

I could create a column which subtracts 365 from my entry column and then
paste values from my "dummy" column into my entry column.

BUT, does anyone have a better suggestion to force dates entered on a
specific book, sheet, or even colum to s different default year than the
system date year?
