How do I report a Date Format bug in Excel 2003 to Microsoft ?
 

I've imported some MYOB general ledger reports into Excel, but have found
that Excel 2003 reads dates in the first 12 days of the month as MM/DD/YYYY
(USA format) when they are actually DD/MM/YYYY (i.e. European / Austalian /
NZ format), even though i have correctly set my Windows Regional settings to
Australia (i.e. DD/MM/YYYY).

Am really sick of having to scan sometimes 200 lines to fix these dates -
very annoying.

Excel 2000 doesn't make this boo-boo !

Is anyone at MS working on this URGENT problem ???

Have also reported this issue to MYOB Support in Melbourne.

Are you importing as text, or does MYOB export in Excel format?

If text, you can guide Excel to to the correct date format in the text
import wizard.

Hope this helps
