Date format when opening a .CSV file programmatically
have a date 05/11/2003 in a cell in a csv file
if I open the file manually it reads 05/11/2003 if I open the file via vba it reads 11/05/2003 (if I right click on the cell in all three above cases the format is the same Custom - "dd/mm/yyyy") Any ideas Jason |

Date format when opening a .CSV file programmatically
What Regional Setting is your computer set to?
dd/mm/yyyy is not US format. Possibly default VBA format used for date is US? Just a guess.

Date in a .CSV file - IS THIS A BUG??
Angus,
Have you tried this?!!! I've just trued this at home and it looks almost like a bug! Typed 05/11/2003 in A1 and saved it as a csv file. Closed the file and opened it again manually - still 05/11/2003. Opened another workbook and recorded a macro of opening the csv file. Gone back to the recorded macro and run it - now it is 11/05/2003 !!! (still 05/11/2003 when manually opened) Regional settings are set to dd/MM/YYYY. Help. Jason. "Angus Comber" wrote in message ...
