Nope, they are dates. What looks like 12/31/2012, when formatted as "general", shows 41274.

Every single solution provided works for me, here in the US, and for other beta testers in the US. I also sent the spreadsheet to another user in Australia, and he comes up with the same "Date not found" error message. So I've ruled out a problem with the India user's individual computer.

Haven't tried Witek's offering yet - that's next. Will report back.

Could it possibly be something to do with their non-standard Windows OS? I know the user in India uses "Windows Ultimate".

Thanks for all the help.
