Dates in POI Sql2Xls

I have one more issue with the POI sql2xls programs. 

  I was trying to save an employee's hire date into a date data type field
  in a physical file and then move that date into the excel sheet the POI
  program creates.  It doesn't seem to do what I want it to do (of course).

  Is my issue with the date field in the physical file?  If so, how should I
  store the date in the physical file so the POI program can easily convert
  it to a date in the spreadsheet?  When I store it in a plain old 8/0
  numeric field, it just moves the text to the cell instead of formatting as
  a date.
