Thank you Dusant for your message. I went into the regional date
settings and changed both the short and long date format to mm/dd/yy
and gave it a go. Unfortunately, I still got the "invalid date" when
I tried to save it in Downloader. It's strange but I didn't have
this problem before - so I must be doing something different - what?
is the question. I am using Win XP PRo which I have used before.
I have used Netfile to download daily quotes and they go fine (as
you know, Netfile gets the data from Yahoo). It seems the historical
data from Yahoo to Excel as a .csv file causes the problem with the
date. I have played with all the different date formats in excel but
to no avail.
Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated. Your time and thoughts
are most appreciated.
Thanks. Norm.
