Default Day Calculation Error

Actually I have the formating at custom dd "Days," hh" Hours"

If formatted General yes I get 63 days after rounding. Is there anyway to
re-format showing days and hours, but keep the "General" construct?

Meaning that the cell with the formula should be formatted as general

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...
