Is there some sort of format that will show the date as July 9th, 2004? I can get the date to show as July 9, 2004. But I don't know how to account for the different days, such as the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th...etc... :(

What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.
You may need to adjust your range, but something like this should work. Put this in the Worksheet Change event:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not IsDate(Target.Value) Then Exit Sub
If Target.Address <> "$A$1" Then Exit Sub
If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
Dim DateSuffix As String
Target.NumberFormat = ""
Select Case Day(Target.Value)
Case 1, 21, 31
DateSuffix = "\s\t"
Case 2, 22
DateSuffix = "\n\d"
Case 3, 23
DateSuffix = "\r\d"
Case 4 To 30
DateSuffix = "\t\h"
End Select
Application.EnableEvents = False
Target.NumberFormat = "mmmm d" & DateSuffix & ", yyyy"
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
