Code:

    Dim dm As String, dt As Date
    dm = "111007"
    dt = Left(dm, 2) & "-" & Mid(dm, 3, 2) & "-" & Mid(dm, 5)
    dt = Format("11-10-07", "dd/mmm/yyyy")

Thanks your solution,

I appreciated your help ^^

if your date doesn't have to be a date variable, you could use the format$ command
newstring$ = format$(olddate, "dd/mmm/yy")
i am currently reinstalling OS and i don't have vb installed right now so i can't remember for sure if it has to be converted to a long first.

Dear Sir Load Orwell ,
I had tried the solution you were provided, it return 04/Dec/03

a return value from format is not a date data type, a date data type is a date value, that is displayed as the setting in system locale (or a formatted string)

Your own solution is the best, as long as the string is always in this format.

Any output from the Format function is a string, and when assigned to a date variable, the output is dependent on you local settings. This is not acceptable.

Thx westconn1 and Frans C.
