Want to change the dates in selected cells manually using a MACRO

Dear Forum,

I am working on a database which has been used and mis-used by several ex-employees each one adding his own date format which has a resulted in a big issue now...

There are three dates and which have different formats like "mm/dd/yyyy" also "dd/mm/yyyy" and some other formats too..

I tried changing the dates using formulas but in vain...since this date is a vital aspect of this databases tampering with it is too risky...

So , i have to manually change each date after checking and confirming it with another inter portal..

On most occassions the dates are mentioned as "dd/mm/yyyy" which need to be changed manually by changing the position of the first 2 characters to move in between and the 4,5th character of the dates to replace the 1,2 character and this has to be done over more than 5000 rows and 2 columns...

The second column also has the same date except that the logic in this second column is that this is a date which three years - 1 day away from the first date.

Ex: 1st date is mentioned incorrectly as - 07/06/2013 which is actually 6-Jun-13...and the second date will be 5-Jun-16.. ( Y+3, D - 1) where Y- Years & D is Days.

Well the reason of doing manually is to avoid any errors in case of any other format than specified..

So, I want someone to help me with a macro which can work on a selected range of data for two columns..

The end format I want is make the dates read "6-Jun-13" which any layman can understand..
