Default Date Format problem

I have a SAGE (UK company) accounts application which exports CSV files
containing dates in DD/MM/YYYY formats. On opening the CSV file with excel
(Office2000) some of the dates in quite a random fashion show as MM/DD/YYYY
which completely throws the reporting. I have asked Sage but wonder if
anyone else has experienced this and whether there is a better way of
formatting the source data so that it is more consistant??
