    It will save the underlying value, which is 41492 for 6th August 2013. You will need to change those values to text values in the equivalent format if you want to retain it (but then, they won't be dates)

    Hope this helps.

    Pete

    Hi Pete,
    sorry it took so long to get back to you. Had to go away for a couple of days with work. Many thanks it works for me.

    Many thanks
