Default how do you convert a number into a date

I have a file that was sent to me with a column of dates that appear like
20070602. I need it to look like 06/02/2007. I have tried to format it but
I get ########### and the screen says something about a negative number. If
I open a new blank worksheet and type it in 20070602, Excel automatically
switches it to a proper date format. When I receive the file with the date
as 20070602, it is already saved in excel. I have tried several different
formats. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Jm
