Default Strange problem: Computer's date changes when importing data

I wrote a small VBA routine that imports the data from an Excel spreadsheet
into another spreadsheet.

The second spreadsheet contains a button. When I click on the button it
opens a dialog where I can select the first spreadsheet and import data from
it. I haven't included any error handling, the data seems to import without
problems.

Here's what's weird. After I've imported the data, my computer system's
date/time are change. I've noticed that the system's date matches the date of
the file that I've just imported. I can't figure out why. Has anybody
experienced this? I can provide the code if needed. I'm using Excel 2002.

Thank you, Tushar.

Your suggestion was extremely helpful. I changed the Date= statement to
something like FormDate= and it solved the problem. I will also read through
help to learn more about it.

Kind regards,

Franco

Somewhere in your code there is a Date *statement* as in Date={date}
For more see the XL VBA help for the 'date statement' (w/o the quotes).
