I have several workbooks that I distribute where I have formatted the date
columns to display as dd-mmm-yyyy. The users fill in these dates. This is the way I want them formatted, because that is the way they ultimately need to be entered into our computer system. The problem is, if the user looks at the instructions to enter as dd-mmm-yyyy and mearly thinks, "Ok -- day, monty, year" and enters the 7th of January, 2005 as 7-1-2005, it will display as 01-Jul-2005 and not 07-Jan-2005. This is because of the regional settings, I realize. I can't ask people to change their regional settings, so how can I ensure that if they enter the date as day-monty-year (numerically) it will actually display as such? Is this impossible? Is there a macro in existance? I need more control! Help! |
