Default Date format cannot change

Dear All,

I have a worksheet with some date in it like '21/09/2008 or some like
21/09/2008 without the '.

I tried to format on the worksheet or VBA to the date format dd-mmm-yy. Even
when I check the format setting, it shows dd-mmm-yy but the display still
21/09/2008.

Further I tried control-H to find and replace the ' , but nothing found.

If I do it one by one, I can just use F2 and then just hit return, then the
format works ok to dd-mmm-yy.

I also tried copy to other location and paste it back etc, but still not
working.

Any idea why it is like that and not response to my format setting? Any way
in worksheet or VBA to change it and no need to do it one by one?

Any one had any suggestion?

Thanks a lot.
