I am working on a song list with selection numbers and disc numbers ..When I
enter the selection number or disc number it changes to a DATE!! How do I

Thanks

Are you entering something like 1/10? If so, either format the cells as

The cells are probably pre-formatted to show numbers as dates. To
change this for the whole worksheet, click on the intersection between
the row and column identifying labels - this will highlight all cells.
Then click Format | Cells | Number (tab) and click on General in the
list of formats available.

Hope this helps.
