 Have a database with rows and columns.  However, I've changed the style of 
the date column, which is OK, but somehow its change a number column, so 
when I type in a number is changes it to a date.  Tried highlighting whole 
column and changing it, but then it changes the date column, What am I doing 
wrong.

Are we talking Access (a database) or Excel (a spreadsheet)?

sounds like Excel - I think the problem is that you are using styles - TRY
selecting the column, then using format cells on the menu - this should fix
it for you
