The regional options settings are the same on both computers, neither
computer has 1904 date system checked and the other options are the same.
I formatted the cell as "date" and *3/14/2001 and when I sent it to them
the format changed to "custom" and d-mmm.

What sort of change? From what to what?

Are regional options setttings the same on both computers?

Are ToolsOptionsCalculation "1904 date system" options the same?

I created a excel spread sheet which I emailed to someone at another

same
issue, can anyone tell me why this happens and how can I fix it?
