Exported file not the same on different PCs

Hello,
One of the users here created a spreadsheet that exports to Datacom. It has
dates in it that need to export without the slashes and he's got one date
column that needs to combine with some text; it's a little different but
needs to be done that way. He has listed each Sat. date in 2008 using
formulas that increment by 7. The dates are formatted as Custom mm/dd/yy_).
The current Sat. date is referenced in several sheets and the data is copied
and pasted into another sheet as values, and then copied to a new workbook.
There the Sat. date is formatted (and here's the goofy part) in his macro as
Selection.NumberFormat = " cirmmddyy". So he needs a space combined with cir
and the date with a leading zero without slashes. Anyway one of the users
has Windows 2000 with Excel 2002; the spreadsheet exports perfectly for him.
Another user has Windows XP with Excel 2000; the export looks like a 4-digit
year instead of 2 digits. Both Regional Settings are the same on the PCs. I
have XP and Excel 2003 and the spreadsheet is okay on mine. I've included
part of the first row:
EXBIGM700 18011220 cir022308022308
Any ideas why this would act differently? TIA and have a good day!
 
I think you may be being haunted by the ghost of y2k, has the 2000 user got
all the latest patches?

Reg, thanks for your response. According to our Tech group all the PCs have
the latest of everything. I ended up just putting in some code to get the
format I wanted before the file was exported. Still not sure what the
difference was, but at least it works on both now.
