Default Format date dd.mm.yyyy to dd/mm/yyyy

Hi,

For exporting purposes to a database, I have to have the dates formatted as
dd/mm/yyyy. Easy you say. Yes, I have formatted the column to be a date and
selected dd/mm/yyyy as the format. Great

Only, it changes the date in any written form EXCEPT where dots are used.
Is there a way I can format by validation or some such thing to error or
replace "." with "/" (i.e dots with slashes.)

Cheers
