cell A2 has the date 3/9/2007

When I test the following formula - =(A2+45)=4/27/2007 I get True, but I
should get false.

AlSO, when I put in =4/23/2007<4/27/2007 I get false. Both expressions
should evaluate to true.

What is going on?

Carl,

If you highlight the 4/27/2007 of your formula and press F9 you will see
that it equates to 0.0000738157190573733 which is 4 divided by 27 divided by
2007.

=(A2+45)="4/27/2007"
