Default Converting Text to Dates

Some of our company systems output dates in the format yyyymmdd but in a
"general" format eg 20080625 for the 25th June 2008. How can I convert this
to a date so I can use the day(), month(), year() functions?

At the moment I am using left(), mid(), right() to break up the text string
but there must be an easier way

Thank You
