Daniel,

Please also see my reply to Hilmar.

>What version of Excel/VFP are you using? Also, what are the regional settings in windows and SET DATE in VFP?

Excel 2000, VFP 6 w/latest service pack.

Windows Regional: English (US); short date style mm/dd/yy

VFP SET( "DATE" ) = SHORT
VFP SET( "DATE", 1 ) = 0 (MDY)

Thanks for any help!
