Dates

I am having a problem formatting dates. When you format a cell for ex., phone number, SSS#: you format the cell then just type in the numbers without having to type in the dashes. I have had no luck doing this with the Date Format function. How do you enter the dates to make them automatically format??

Dates must be entered with hyphens or slashes (e.g.,
12-31-01, 12/31/01). For more info on dates see
the Excel Help topic, "Tips on entering dates and
times".
