Customise Date Format
Hi,
Go to format cells. Under Number tab you can see Date. Click that and select the *14/03/01. Then select Custom and select dd/mm/yy and under the Type you manually put dd.mm.yy Try this.

Bernard
Your suggestion may have got me a result. I will need to test a bit further. It has no effect on an existing 27/05/2008 but if you copy the value equivalent to 27/05/2008 using Paste, Special, Value into a preformatted cell it produces 27.5.08. Using Edit, Find I could make changes but it is a long winded approach.
