We have a large file with a date (cyymmdd) that my manager wants to pull in to 
an Excel spreadsheet. After he downloads it, he has to run a micro to convert 
the date to mm/dd/yy for Excel to use. 
What I would like to know is if I set up a field in the file with format mdy. 
Will this come over correctly in Excel? I can create the new field (mdy) when 
the cyymmdd field is created. 
Or is there a better way to do this. 
Thanks,
William Moore
