Default Dates using Data / Validation

I am using Data / Validation / List

To reference the following dates in these cells as follows:

F1 = now()
F2 = now()+1
F3 = now()+2
F4 = now()+3
F5 = now()+4

However each time I select a date whether today's date, tomorrow, next day etc. it also chooses the time when selected,
e.g. 2/12/2006 17:53

In order to make my program work I need the date to show today plus 4 days into the future however showing e.g.
2/12/2006 12:00AM, even if selected at 5:53 PM. I can get this effect by just typing Feb-12 in a cell manually, however
how can I get it to work using Data / Validation.

Your help in this matter is appreciated.

Susan

=NOW() gives date and time, switch to =TODAY() for date only

Your problem is your cell format. You need to format the cells so they just
show the date.
