Need Help with Date Format

[Bjnno1]

How do I type 042707 and have it display on my Excel colum as 04/27/07?

Every time I type it (without the dashes) it changes on my worksheet. I've
tried every option under Format Cells -> Number -> Date and have even played
around with the Custom option, but still not getting my correct date to show
up with the dashes.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Const WS_RANGE As String = "A:A" '<== change to suit

On Error GoTo ws_exit
Application.EnableEvents = False

If Not Intersect(Target, Me.Range(WS_RANGE)) Is Nothing Then
With Target
If Not IsDate(.Value) Then
.Value = DateSerial(.Value Mod 100, .Value \ 10000, (.Value
Mod 10000 - .Value Mod 100) \ 100)
.NumberFormat = "m/d/yy"
End If
End With
End If

ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

'This is worksheet event code, which means that it needs to be
'placed in the appropriate worksheet code module, not a standard
'code module. To do this, right-click on the sheet tab, select
'the View Code option from the menu, and paste the code in.
