Hi Tom,

The date serial is stored as a number i think. It's alignment i
towards the right side of the cell.

I tried to select a particular cell after that by doing:


*Range("F4").Select*

But still it didn't select the cell :(

I defined a function in VBA that converts dates keyed in as YYYYMMD
to
be displayed as DD/MM/YYYY using "DateValue" command as well as the
Left, Mid and Right functions

However, excel will only display the dates in the serial numbers.

After the conversion into serial numbers (before 'end function'),
had
this:


*ActiveCell.Select
Selection.NumberFormat = "dd/mm/yyyy"*

But somehow, it doesn't select that cell to convert into dd/mm/yyyy
format.
I have to manually right click the cell and format it as date.

Is there anyway to do this in VBA ?
