Default Having problem getting date into format: yyyy/mm/dd

I am trying to format the contents of a cell to display
the date in the format: yyyy/mm/dd

Right now in the code I have:

OutputSheet.Cells(OutputRowCounter - NumTrans - 2,
5).Value = Format(Input1Sheet.Cells(2,
4).Value, "yyyy/mm/dd")

What ends up happening is that it formats the variable
properly, but when it writes it to the cell Excel changes
the date back to mm/dd/yyyy.

How do I get my change to stick?
