Hi Sascha,

I really do not unterstand, why my code with only ".Value" does not work
under my Excel XP. It works with Excel 2000.

No idea. This was a nasty bug in earlier versions of Excel (i.e.
international handling of dates, times, formulae etc when entered using
arrays), that I thought was fixed in Excel 2000. Maybe it's made a
comeback.
