Month - Date

Is there a way to enter the month and date in excel
without having to press the hyphen (07-31) in between
numbers, specifically for another year other than 2003.
i.e. If I wanted 07/31/2002, is there a way just to
enter 073102, and it come up in the correct format?
07-31-2002

Thanks,
Lynn
