This is probably specific to Non-American versions but ...

When I open a csv file via excel I get the expected format:

MATR PROD_MONTH TIS
1 01/04/2002 3
1 01/04/2002 6
1 01/04/2002 9

The date formt is as written in the file dd/mm/yyyy in the abov
example this is the 1st of april.

When I open the file using

Workbooks.Open Filename:="C:\test.csv"

I get:

MATRIX PROD_MONTH TIS
1 04/01/2002 3
1 04/01/2002 6
1 04/01/2002 9

The date is reversed internally to USA type mm/dd/yyyy - but because m
regional settings are UK, excel interprets this as 4th January.


Any ideas
