Default opening excel file - date format problem: DD/MM/YYYY vs MM/DD/YYYY

Hi,

I am using Excel 2000, programming with VB6.

I have a HTML file "Temp.xls" (yes, in xls extension) with a table only.
There is a cell containing a date:
..... <tr<td07/12/2004</td</tr...
Note that this date means Dec 7, 2004 (in DD/MM/YYYY format).
When I open this file in Excel, it shows the date format well as above.
But when I write code to open it:

Dim xlsApp as Object
Dim FilePath as String
.....
FilePath = "C:\Temp.xls"
Set xlsApp = Nothing
Set xlsApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
xlsApp.Workbooks.Open (FilePath)
....

I find that the date becomes 12/07/2004, which is not what I want.

The date fornat in my regional setting is dd/mm/yyyy already. How can I
solve this problem?

Thanks a lot!

Yung
