Default Displaying a custom formatted number

I would like a person to enter a number up to 2 digits, followed by a
dash "-" then 2 more digits.

Example: enter 23-67 or 45-09 or 01- 35 is entered into a cell and
excel wants to convert it to dates and times etc.

How do I do this?

Just format the cells to Text and the values entered will no
longer look like dates.
