Default Date changes when cutting and pasting dates to new workbook /works

I have inherited a workbook which was originally created on a MAC machine
using MAC Excel. We have changed the company harware and softwre and now use
XP and Excel 2003.
When I copy cells with dates from the old workbook to a new workbook the
date changes to one that is totally different. For example 15/02/2007 becomes
14/02/2003. I have formatted the cloumn as an english style date format in
the new and old workbooks.

Any assistance would be appreciated. PS if I copy the text of the date only
and NOT the cell then it is OK
