cell format
I've set a column of cells to be formatted as mm/dd/yyyy,
however when i move the date value of one of these cells to a string variable, the value in the variable is displayed as my regional option for the short date which is mmddyy. Is there a way around this. Can you set the regional system options with VBA and then reset when the spreadsheet application is closed? Thanks, Mike |
