Re: Dates

Anything, and by that I mean everything that has a date field in it when I'm writing a text import function for Excel is imported as text then converted afterwards as Microsoft refuse to fix their inbuilt function, it's been the same since at least Office '97 that I know of.

Also shows that Office has ever been a complete re-write as there's big chunks of code they're obviously re-using.
