    	How about importing an XLS file with a MM/DD/YYYY field?
    
    	Somewhere between Excel and Access, my dates were all changed to
    	some sort of Julian format, and Access can't seem to convert them
    	back to dates.
    
    	Do I have to go back to the Excel spreadsheet and change the form-
    	at to DD-MMM-YYYY in order for it to work correctly?

    	Well, it appears that all I had to do was remove the 3 title lines
    	from rows 1-3 of the Excel spreadsheet, and the date column loaded
    	just fine.  I don't even think the date format really matters now.
