Default The 1904 Time System


Hi everyone

I wrote a couple functions, which allow me to convert time strings as
used in astronomy ("2006-230T14:55:00") to a regular Date Type, and
vice versa. As I finished these functions, I started reading about
negative time, and how Excel can not handle negative time, unless you
use the 1904 time system. So, I switched to the 1904 time system, but
now all the functions I wrote create dates that are 4 years and 1 day
off... :-(

How can I update the functions, so that they now work in the 1904 time
system?

I attached the module with the functions, in case you need that to
answer my questions.
Thanks!
Emma
