Default Date format problem following cut/paste from Access

Good Morning All!

I have the following problem:
After pasting a range of data with a column that contains dates, the date
format does not get taken in consideration until the data in the field is
actually edited.
For example, I can select the column, and apply a date format (let's say
dd-mmm-yyyy) but the data will still look the same on screen. If I then
double-click on a cell in the range, and then move away from that cell, it
then takes the format I specified.

Forcing a recalculation wiht F9 doesn't change that.

If I select the range and force a General format on it, I can see that the
undelying data is a date (and not text), sorting it produces correct results
(showing that Excel interprets that column as a date).

Does anybody know if the Office SP3 solves that problem, I couldn't figure
that out with the description of the changes in SP3 in the KB.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Daniel :-)
