Hi Don

I am trying to do this same thing in windows Vista and when I do what you
directed it does not work. If I enter 1300 in the cell it displays as 0000
and the formula lines shows "7/23/1903 12:00:00 AM" any thoughts?

Did you place Don's code in the sheet module as directed?

Are you entering 1300 in a cell in column E? Any other column will not
trigger the event.

You mention Windows Vista.

That is an operating system, which has nothing to do with Excel.

What version of Excel or Office?

I will assume 2007.

Did you save the workbook as a macro-enabled workbook(*.xlsm)?

Have you enabled macros when the workbook opens?

I thought being VISTA might be an important fact, sorry

Yes Excel 2007
Yes saved as XLSM
Yes Macros enabled.

Still does not work.

Is there another way to have it read with other than the code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Column <> 5 Then Exit Sub
Application.EnableEvents = False
Target = Left(Target, 2) & ":" & Right(Target, 2)
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
