I want to be able to enter, for example, "030107" and have the cell formatted
so I get 03/01/07.
 
You can use a worksheet_change event that converts your text entry to the
date entry automatically. I did this for a client a few days ago.
 
Niek,

Wouldn't a worksheet_change event involve less overhead?
 
Hi Don,

Quite possible. But I don't know if the OP knows how to implement that, and this utility requires no knowledge of VBA.
