>>You are dealing with ambiguous dates in Excel. The dates should be in Excel as 2000-01-01, not 00-01-01.

>>Regardless, there is nothing preventing you from catching this in your import routine, unless of course, you are relying on Append From x Type XLS....
>>
>>If you are, you will need to use Automation Techniques instead, so you can fix the values...
>>
>>Changing how the dates are displaying in Excel may help as well. Just curious, what version of Excel are you using. In Excel 2000, if I enter 01/01/00, it automatically formats it as 01/01/2000.
>>
>>If the values in Excel are entered as strings, as opposed to dates, then you are definitely going to have to rely on automation techniques to fix the data. In your Excel Template, I would then recommend that date types are used, and the 4 digit year to be displayed...
