[mso] Re: Excel Date Issue

Go back to that Format cells box and choose "Custom" from the list on the
left, then in the little white box on the right that says "Type:", manually
type in mmddyy.  That will do it

Subject: [mso] Excel Date Issue

We have a client that has a spreadsheet with a date column formatted
mm/dd/yy.  His main office in Chicago uses a date format of yymmdd with no
slashes in a data base program, not access.  He wants to convert his date
format to Chicago's.  I tried to change his with the format cells, date
function.  There was not a format that would fit his request.  I tried using
the number format but it suppresses the leading "0" in the month.  I tried
using the text format but when you try to convert, it gives you a funky
date.  Is there a way to do this w/o using visual basic?  The only way he
sees to do it is to change every date manually.  He has several hundred
entries.  In my opinion, that is not a viable solution.  Suggestions would
be appreciated.
