Default Combo Box Help


I have put a combo box from the Control Toolbar onto my spreadsheet. I
have a named range that corresponds to our company's fiscal periods
(all month ending dates, period 1 ends July 31, period 2 ends Aug 31,
etc.)

I have the named range (fPeriods) on a different spreadsheet (within
the same workbook) with the month ending dates.

The copbo box displays the list of month ending dates on the drop down,
but when a date is selected the combo box displays the numeric version
of that date.

e.g. 31-Jul-06 is the first item on the drop down list, but when it is
selected the combo control now displays --38929--

What do I need to do to have the combo box control to display in the
same format as in my list, once the list item has been selected?
