Select the range of cells giving the problem and use Format | Cells |
General They must have been formatted as dates (this can happen if you enter a date or something Excel takes to be a date) best wishes -- Bernard V Liengme www.stfx.ca/people/bliengme remove caps from email "autumn" wrote in message ...

Perhaps the cell has been pre-formatted as a date. Select the cell
again and click Format | Cells | Number (tab) and change the format to General, or Number with 0 decimal places. Hope this helps.
