Default DATES ARE SCRAMBLED!

Upon exporting a data from another and importing therefrom from in excel I
have come across the following problem:

The date format in the source data was m/d/yyyy, whereas I have the data
format in destination file to be formatted as d/m/yyyy.

Source data like 2/13/2000 has been converted to string as 2/13/2000 as
there is no 13th month, but 11/2/2000 has been converted to 11/2/2000
(correct date format but INCORRECT VALUE of 11-Feb-2000, actual one being
2-Nov-2000).

How to get the correct dates in format of d/m/yyyy.

Thanx in advance!

FARAZ
