>In Excel, {^2016-10-24} is just the representation, as a date, of the number 42667. Dates are numbers, as offsets from {^1899-12-30}. That is, if you add {^1899-12-30} to the number in the cell, you'll get the date displayed when the cell is formatted as a date.


Sorry I dont understand how to do that


oXL = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
oXL.Workbooks.Open("c:\citisprint\attachxls\latest.xlsx")
oXL.ActiveWorkbook.Saveas("c:\citisprint\attachxls\latest.xls", 39)

How do I do that to column h in the active workbook lates.xls - what is the code I need to use

Thanks

Colin
