If I type a date, 02/28/05 in a cell, it changes to somthing like 06/02/1955.
Even when I change the format, date, and change selections, 2/28/2005, or
Monday, February 28, 2005. It will default back to some other month, date
and year. I know that it worked correctly on Friday, 2/25/05, does anyone
know of a bug or update that could have caused this problem?

Thanks

Hi

what happens if you use the short-cut key combination of
control & semi-colon (;)
to input the current date?

Cheers

Julie,
That works for one cell at a time, why is it doing this. I have always
typed numbers, selected them all and then changed the format on all of them
to date at one time and never had any problems before.

Hi

i've got no idea really why it's not working ... unless the cells you're
working in are formatted as text rather than general prior to you entering
the dates?

sorry can't be more help
