Default Preserve cell formatting as SSN

I've got a couple cells formatted as Special, then Social Security Number.
When users enter the spreadsheet they are presented with a series of VBA
forms for data entry, and on one of them they input a SSN. The idea is to let
them enter the ssn with or without dashes, and have the cell's formatting
apply the dashes if necessary.

However, when the number in in the form's text box is moved to the
spreadsheet's cell, the number is formatted exactly as the user places it
into the text box. The cell formatting is not applied, so if the user omits
the dashes, then the dashes don't appear in the cell.

I've checked the text box properties, both in the properties window and in
the .properties choices and don't see anything. Even tried populating the
cell with TextBox.Value rather than just TextBox, hoping it would work like
Paste Special/Values but that didn't work either.

If anyone can help with a way around this, much appreciated. Thank you.
