Default Text & Date Formatting

Hi,

I have on a sheet the formula ="Date Of Issue:"&'sheet1'!a1

In Sheet 1, a1 cell I have a date value. (05/10/06 as displayed on that
sheet)

What I get on the other sheet is:

Date of Issue: 38995

How can I format the cell as custom, so it displays:

Date Of Issue: 05/10/06

Thanks for any advice,

Aaron.
