IN M1 type this formula.......

=IF(AND(LEN(K1)=5,LEN(L1)<5),"X","")

Then, select M1, and do Format ConditonalFormatting and set Cell Value Is,
Equal To, X.....then do the format button and select PatternTab select
the red square OK OK

Sorry. I gave the wrong information. What i am trying to accomplish is if
Column A has a letter value in it and there is no date value in column b,
then i want column c to have the letter "x" put in it and the cell background
color formatted to red. Additionally, if there is a letter value in Column A
and a date value in Column B, then Column C should remain blank.

Change the formula to the following and put it in C1 instead of
M1......Conditional Formatting instructions will stay the same but be
performed on C1 instead of M1.

=IF(AND(ISTEXT(A1),LEN(A1)=1,LEN(B1)<5),"X","")

Didn't we just do this under your other post "Conditional Formatting"?
