This is the output from a macro that recorded from Text To Column.

Selection.TextToColumns Destination:=Range("A8"), DataType:=xlDelimited, _
TextQualifier:=xlDoubleQuote, ConsecutiveDelimiter:=False,
Tab:=True, _
Semicolon:=False, Comma:=False, Space:=False, Other:=False,
FieldInfo _
:=Array(1, 4), TrailingMinusNumbers:=True

This macro takes a date and converts it to dd/mm/yyyy.

Where does it get the format for the dd/mm/yy? Can I use this to convert a
date before I write it to a worksheet?

Thanks
