Default Display date as 06/08 (m,yy) without year changing back to 07?

Hi,

If you enter a 2 part date with only a 2 digit year then excel will presume
you mean month/day and automatically inputs the current year to the
date.....try specifying the year with 4 digits.

I am trying to enter dates in an excel sheet, showing them as month/year.
June, 2008 would show as 06/08. No matter what format I use, the year in my
entry is changed back to the current year, or 6/07. What am I doing wrong?
