Default Finding Date in an overseas format

Public sDate as Date

doesn't work. It says it can't find the date. sDate as String worked
(on my computer).

Whew, I'm not completely stupid... I have

Public sDate As String, sCategory As String

in another module.

I will change it to

Public sDate as Date
