Default Date Changes

I have a share file that shoes the dates in the year 2005. When I copy the
file, the dates change to 2001. What is causing the change?

Start--Settings--Control Panel, Regional Settings is using a different
date system.

Check out the settings at ToolsOptionsCalculation.

It sounds like you have "1904 date system" checked.

Uncheck it.

More on dates at Chip Pearson's site.
