without knowing the reasons of your problem, and in addition what Brian wrote, you could try the following: As dates are represented internally by (integer) numbers, please select the cells containing the dates before you copy them, and set the cell format to "standard". Then all dates should turn into numbers. What happens if you copy&paste those numbers to your new spreadsheet? Do the numbers change? If not, you can then select the target cells and format them as date - and see if they are correct now.
