Date format with Excel 2007
I have a problem with Excel 2007, I have some cells with a date value
(11/06/2008), but when I save the file, close it and open it again, in cells I have this 39758. I formatted these cell to a date format, any date format, and when I save, close and open the file, I have 39758 once again. This only happens with a couple of files. Can you tell me what is wrong with this? How can I keep the date format in these cells? Thank you kindly in advance for your help. Ed Gonzalez |

Date format with Excel 2007
Are the cells populated using a macro when the file is opened?
Apparently the values in the cells are being overwritten by new values with numeric/general format. Save a copy then in the copy Copy and PASTE SPECIAL|Values in place and see whether the problem reoccurs.

Thank you for your quick response.
No, the file is not populated by a macro. I did what you suggested me, and not worked. I'm still having the same values. It's strange.
