Default Date

I am exporting some data from Access into Excel. Each record has a date
assigned with it and that is a key record. The date is showing up in Excel
as a long integer number, which is apparently how Access stores dates. I
need to convert the date back to a standard date format. I have tried
changing the format of the cell and that didn't work. Any ideas on how to
accomplish this?

What do the long integer numbers look like? (give several examples)
