I may be quite wrong about this, but I have an idea that Legacy will accept dates input in any of several formats, but displays them in the format chosen by the user. If this is the case, I think dates will be exported to the CSV file in the format they were entered, not in the format they were displayed. You could test this by entering a couple of dates in different formats and then export them and seeing how they look in Excel. I haven't time to do that myself at the moment. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
