I'm attempting to download an ordinary DB/2 file into Excel that includes a Date field.
With the old Client Access transfer, the date field would hit Excel as a date. With ACS it's hitting Excel as a string. (Mucking around with the cell format does nothing.) The only way to get the field to become a date is to select the cell, move the cursor to the entry line and then press enter. It's really a drag. (There might be a better way to do this. I'm not an Excel person.)
Anyone else notice this or is it just me?
