You can ask Excel:

Start recording a macro, and give the command - in this case, change the date format. Then, stop recording the macro.

Now, look at the macro; you will see code similar to:
Selection.NumberFormat = "dd-mm-yyyy;@"
Now apply this to a cell, column, or range, for example:
loSheet.Cells(5,4).NumberFormat = "dd-mm-yyyy;@"
(Does somebody know what the "@" at the end means?)
