Default Excel 2000 VBA date format changes in subtotals

Hi,

I'm automating the layout task of a specific excel workbook in VBA
One of the tasks is to create subtotals whenever the first column containing
dates change. These dates are formatted in d/mm/yyyy.

Getting the subtotals is no problem , it inserts rows with the text

Totaal <date

but <date is now formatted as m/d/yyyy.


When I make the subtotals myself using the menu Data ..subtotals there is no
problem. Then the date is in the same format, d/mm/yyyy.

When I record this action as a macro and execute the recorded macro, I again
get the dates formatted in the wrong format (m/d/yyyy).


I have a dutch version of excel.
Application.international(xldateorder) gives 1, meaning d/m/yyyy...

How do I get the subtotal so that the date remains in our local format and
doesn't change to us format.

Regards,

Kris
