Of course the screenshot will not have made it through to the list. Are you talking about when she enters and displays yyyy-mm-dd and after it displays correctly, and then clicking on the date and all of a sudden it automagically appears as mm-dd-yyyy? But after editing it reappears in the correct format in the cell? That's what mine does if I set the language to Hebrew with a US english locale. It will be helpful if you can provide more details: 1. What are the locale settings on her machine? 2. What OS? 3. What are the settings in: Tools|Options|Language Settings|Languages 4. What are the settings in Format|Cell|Date 5. What bugs you _think_ may be related. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
