In excel 2003 we used to type the date without / or -
When we do that in Excel 2007, we get a lot of hashes (####).
How can we get it to behave the same as Excel 2007?
 
If you typed the dates in without slashes or dashes in xl2003 (like 01082008),
then you had another program running that would parse this entry into a date.

Excel won't do this on its own.

You may want to go back and find what addin you were using in xl2003 and install
it in xl2007.
