Default Day Calculation Error

Sorry for not providing all the info, the result of the calcualtion I have as
custom, (dd "Days," hh" Hours"), so it shows how many days and hours have
passed since the fixed date and time.

1. If you are comparing days and not hours etc don't use NOW(), use TODAY()

2 format the result as general

If I do that I get 63

=TODAY()-A2

where A2 holds 04/16/07

formatted as general

I have a status spreadsheet that counts how many days from a fixed date to
Now(), in one field the date is 16 April 2007, to Now() it is saying it is
3
days, when I move it to a different fixed date of 19 april it tells me 23
days, it should read 60 on 16 april and 57 on the 19 april. I have checked
the formating, and on some it counts properly.

Has anyone encountered this before if so please tell me how to fix it...
Thank you Steve...
