Hi,

I've had to repost this as I may have given the impression the problem was
fixed.

I have a spreadsheet which I convert to a text file without any problems,
by either saving the workbook (with the approriate sheet active) to a text
file, or by making a copy of that sheet to a new workbook and then saving as
a text file.

However......

When I create some code to do the conversion from a click of a button,
for some reason, the resulting text file changes the date format from
23/06/2006 to 6/23/2006. My Regional settings are OK as well as the
format of the cells. Can anyone tell me what could be the problem?

Below is the code as there may be something in there causing the problem?

Sub SaveToTextFile()
'On Error GoTo Oops
Dim WB As Workbook
Dim WB2 As Workbook
Dim SH As Worksheet
Dim Rng As Range
Dim newFileName As String
Set WB = Workbooks("Invoice-Order Maker.xls")
Set SH = WB.Sheets(2) 'Worksheet for Text file
Set Rng = SH.Range("BK1") 'to give an appropriate name to text file
'verify data entered in all necessary cells
