I once shared my book.xlt file with another person. It showed that I was the
author of every workbook that she created.

Is there a chance that you used the same workbook to start your work--maybe a
sample workbook created by the instructor or from the textbook (if it came with
files)--instead of starting from a brand new file?

I'm a graduate student who just finished up a big project in Excel and handed
it in. A few days later I get an e-mail from my professor regarding
potential cheating. My professor looked at the statistics tab in the
properties box and I ended up having the same 'Created' Date as another girl
in my class. The date is "Monday, October 14, 1996 6:33:28 PM".

First of all we didn't cheat, I barely know this girl. Second, I didn't own
my laptop or have Excel in 1996. For some reason we both ended up with a
file that somehow got this bogus 1996 Date and Time. If anyone has any
advice, please let me know. As it stands now we need to prove our innocence
to pass the class.

Thanks!
