Cut time from string ?

I have a date/time in the form of:

12/24/2006 4:21:49 AM

I want only 12/24/2006.

How do I get rid of 4:21:49 AM ?

Formating *shows* only 12/24/2006
but the time is still part of the data.

If I try:

ActiveCell.Formula = Left(ActiveCell.Formula, 10)
or
ActiveCell.Formula = Mid(ActiveCell.Formula, 1, 10)

the string is not shortened
but the number of seconds seems to diminish.

Thank you,
Emory
