Date Issue

On date entry, if I format the column to Date in the form m/d/yyyy in either
date or custom, when I enter the numbers, for example 10052007, it does not
put in the form of 10/05/2007. Text will not do it either, unless you
physically put in the slash marks. The control panel refernence for date
format is 10/5/2007.

Is there a simpler way than having to add slash marks on entry that will
automatically insert the slash marks in when I just enter 10052007 into the
field?

Is this a whopper, I don't use code at all. I guess I need to read up on
VBA/Macros. Thanks for the link.....

Yeah, but it is just a cut and paste job.
