[libreoffice-users] QuattroPro incompatibility with LO Calc

I recently send a friend of mine a spreadsheet I built in LO Calc and
had it write in .xls format (MS Excel).  There were two columns of
dates in the spreadsheet.  When my friend opened the spreadsheet in
QP, the date columns all came up as "12:00am" instead  of a date.  He
did some playing with it and discovered that those columns came in
formatted as "time" rather than "date." When he changed the column
formats to "date" they worked/looked fine.

I didn't do anything special when building this file, but I didn't
specify what format those columns were in, I just typed in the dates
in mm/dd/yy format, which is all I've ever had to do before.  I don't
have QP, but when I look back in my .xls file, the cell formats show
as "date" not "time."

Can anyone w/QP replicate this problem?  Just create a spreadsheet in
LO Calc that has date entries, save it as .xls (MS Office 97/2000)
format and read it with QP to see what it shows.

Thanks.
