Default Importing .csv with #2000-04-06 10:15:00# date format field

Hi:

I've created a text file from an Excel sheet that ouputs range cell
data to a .csv. One of the fields is a time-datestamp. The file then
has a field in the format #2000-04-06 10:15:00#. (Used simple Write #n
statement to generate output lines)

When I either read the .csv directly with Excel, or open/import and
use Excel to id the field, it doesn't convert to date, even tho I
specify YMD on input -- it still has the format in the cell
#2000-04-06 10:15:00# .

I know I've seen somewhere how to fix this, I just can't remember
where, and can't find it here. I think this is the Microsoft Access
database date format for import.

Thanks in advance for any clues.
