Those are probably not real dates. Use Data Text to Columns on the col of
dates. In step 3 of the wiz, check "Date" under "Column data format", then select YMD from the droplist. Click Finish. Now you can format the real dates to taste. -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- "SSA KO" wrote: How do I change my date from this format 20070507 to 05/07/07?
