Automagic #####

I've just tried to put Wednesday 11 September 2002 into automagic as the
"date due" and it's given me a whole row of ####s. Does this just mean the
date's too big for the cell or is there a problem ?

It's fine. That date is probably the longest (text) date of the year, and the cell is probably 1 or 2 characters too short.

That's correct. "#####" just means that whatever is there is longer than
the available space, but doesn't necessarily mean it's broke. Look on
your SEND sheet to see if the date shows up correctly. (I will either
lengthen this box or make it shrink to fit for the next revision.)

Thanks,
Mike Mulka

Thanks Mike and Jason.

I was just with it being "that date".
