Default Why does this formatting macro not work?


I have this line of code Columns("A:A").NumberFormat = "m/d/yy" which
should format the column as 8/23/03, but when I run it, it formats the
column as 08/23/2003, when I look at the cell format after I run the code it
is custom mm/dd/yyyy.
I recorded a macro changing the format and got this
Columns("A:A").Select
Selection.NumberFormat = "m/d/yy"
When I was recording it the dates changed to the right format but when I ran
the macro it changed them to 08/23/2003, what is going on here? This happens
in any workbook I run the code on. Thanks for any ideas
