Greetings,

The windows long date format is:

[$-F800]dddd, mmmm d, yyyy

So, what does the "[$-F800]" do? I can't seem to figure it out. I'm using
Excel 2007 SP1.

Thanks,
Shane.

It is probably some international coding., representing the installation.

Does it matter?

Thanks. A locale ID makes sense, but I can't find "[$-F800]" in the list of
locales from Microsoft. Any idea what "[$-F800]" is?

Thanks,
Shane.

Does anybody know of any other newsgroups/forums I could try?
