Hi, I input "1/4" or something like that, actually, it's a string, but Excel
is to smart to change it to Jan 4, 2004. I would like to know how to stop
this automatic change? What's the code to do so? As I am actually using VB
code to operate Excel.
Thank you!

Hi
either format the cell as 'Text' or preced your entry with an
apostrophe. e.g.
'1/4
