Hello Doug: The answer to the date problem can be solved in two ways.
My particular problem was in the spreadsheet program The software has the ability to accept different date formats other than those that appear in the drop down menu. The following can be applied to a single cell, or to a group of highlighted cells. 1. Click on cell, or highlighted group of cells. 2. Click on Format. 3. Click on date under Category. 4. Go to bottom of window and there is window with a title Format Code. Highlight over whatever is there and type in the format needed "DD/MM/YY" and then hit OK at the bottom of the page and it worked. Wheww! Thanks for all the help and interest with my problem. Irv.
