Default Date entries in Excel Sheets

Dear Excel Experts,

I have an odd problem I cannot find an answer to using the search facility -
it is on the odd occassion I have multiple sheets and use date input for most
of the financial modelling I do. My problem is that if I have say 6 sheets in
a work file and I find I can enter 14/12/06 on 5 of them (any cell) and the
sheet will come up with the expect result (39,065) but on one sheet all I get
is 0.194444 recuring (which the resultant of the numbers dividing). How can
this happen or what needs to be done to fix it?

Thanking you in anticipation
