Date Format
I have formatted a cell for a date format and I've selected it to show
12/10/08 but when I type today's date as 121008 it shows 4/22/31! I've tried this several times, any suggestions to fix? Thanks! -- swilkins |

If you don't put in the "/" then you need to enter the date number

You cannot create input masks for dates as you have tried to do.
Excel will accept dates only with a de-limiter such as / or - If you want to enter dates as you suggest, you would need VBA code. See Chip Pearson's site for quickentry of dates. http://www.cpearson.com/excel/DateTimeEntry.htm Or Ron de Bruin's QDE add-in. http://www.rondebruin.nl/qde.htm Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Wed, 10 Dec 2008 13:29:02 -0800, swilkins wrote: I have formatted a cell for a date format and I've selected it to show 12/10/08 but when I type today's date as 121008 it shows 4/22/31!
