Convert Date in Text to month and Year

I am trying to convert text to month and year. In the cell it displays as
07/09 i want it show Jul-2009 or 2009-Jul. When i use DATEVALUE or DATE it
adds current year and displays something like 02/15/2010. Any idea what i am
doing wrong..

thanks

I may be over-complicating this, but that's what I do!!!

How to solve this depends on the possible year span of the dates.

If a date is 07/22 is that the date Jul 2022 or Jul 1922

Are the dates *always* in the year 2000 or greater?
