I recently send a friend of mine a spreadsheet I built in LO Calc and had it write in .xls format (MS Excel). There were two columns of dates in the spreadsheet. When my friend opened the spreadsheet in QP, the date columns all came up as "12:00am" instead of a date. He did some playing with it and discovered that those columns came in formatted as "time" rather than "date." When he changed the column formats to "date" they worked/looked fine.
I didn't do anything special when building this file, but I didn't specify what format those columns were in, I just typed in the dates in mm/dd/yy format, which is all I've ever had to do before. I don't have QP, but when I look back in my .xls file, the cell formats show as "date" not "time." Can anyone w/QP replicate this problem? Just create a spreadsheet in LO Calc that has date entries, save it as .xls (MS Office 97/2000) format and read it with QP to see what it shows.
