John,

Are you sure this isn't just an issue of how Excel is formatting the date column?

>I've created an export box that exports certain criteria using an Export command. I'm exporting to an XLS format. Is there a way to tell VFP 6.0 to export dates in MM/DD/YYYY format? Currently it exports dates in this fashion: DD-MONTH-YY where MONTH is the abbreviation for that month(ie:01-JUN-99). This is NOT the output I'm looking for...eventually I'm going to replace this with a better SELECT routine..but until then, any suggestions?
