The KB article is 911750 and it states there is a hotfix available from
Microsoft. Why not use it?

Dave,
I need the extra code (ie., Local:=True) in xl2003 because there is a known
bug (KB 911759) which causes dd/mm/yyyy dates imported from a csv file,
using VBA, to be imported in the incorrect format.
A possibility is to run two separate workbooks, one for xl97 and one for
xl2003, but that isn't really very satisfactory. Hence my attempt to have
the code written so that it will run correctly in any version.
Regards,
John

Jim,

You're correct, of course; it is 911750 - sorry for the typo.

I will try it (the hotfix) when I get it; I've contacted MS Support and they
are going to send it to me.

The only problem, and I'll face it when I get the hotfix, is that the hotfix
files are older than my current - updated with security fixes, etc. -
version of Excel, so I will have to track down the security patches that
have been issued since the hotfix and then install it/them.

Regards,

John
