... As the OP I have a solution.<br />
Before I import the data into Excel ... I have set column a to be a &quot;text&quot; field and when imported it does NOT convert to a date.<br />
<br />
However, I would appreciate any other suggestions???<br />
<br />
THanks,

Hi,<br />
<br />
This is no doubt a familiar problem.<br />
I have found some solutions on the web but none quite works for me.<br />
<br />
I have an Add-in in Excel which facilitates the loading of data into Excel from a financial package.<br />
<br />
Column &quot;A&quot; contains data which is sometimes interpreted as a DATE by Excel.<br />
How do I stop this?

Column "A" contains data which is sometimes interpreted as a DATE by Excel.
How do I stop this?
