Default when I import month and day get flipped

When I export from one system it opens a version of excel, regardless of if i
copy and paste from that excel version or if I import from that version that
date gets flipped
Ex 03/02/2009 gets changed to 2/3/2009

Be sure to use the Import Wizard when you import the data. You can tell the
Wizard what the format is.

Any suggestions on what to do?
