I got this code from somewhere to format the date to dd/mm/yy, it doesn't work to well as the date keeps on changing back to mm/dd/yy. Does any body know how to make the date stay in the dd/mm/yy format.
 

Excel Facts

Will the fill handle fill 1, 2, 3?
Yes! Type 1 in a cell. Hold down Ctrl while you drag the fill handle.

why not just choose to format all the cells to:-
number >> Custom>> then scroll down and select dd/mm/yy?

Check your Regional Options in the Control Panel. There is a date tab where you can select default date format.
