I'm trying to put the date in to a cell in excel. It worked for the months of
July but when I try to put in August dates it just comes up with ######
instead of 08-Aug-07. Help anyone?

Lisa, try and widen the column

Sometime it's the simple things that trip you up.

Lisa,

You have to widen the cell by draging it from the top.
Or Right click cell, select Format, click Date, and finaly select the
style you want to use.

Sexy name,
Hope this works.
