Default Blank dates showing as 00 january 1900 - help

I'm using the below forumla to import data from a seperate workbook which
contains dates.It does work for cells that have dates in them but not every
cell has a date yet and i want this to remain blank but it shows as 00
january 1900
=VLOOKUP(B8,'Summary '!B2:$K$100,10,FALSE)

Any ideas please?
