Default Turning off the default date input

I have several account numbers that looks like dates like: 2310-10-10 and
when down loading from my accounting system excell changes it to 10/10/2310.
I have to manually go to each cell to change to text and then type the
correct number.
Does anybody know a way arround this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, this is really a pain since a lot of
my account numbers are convert to dates when downloaded.
thanks,
Hanne
