    We were on Windows XP, Office 2010, and when I did a query, it brought back the data in excel and displayed correctly.  We recently upgraded laptops to Windows 7.  Now when I do same query, it brings back data and displays dates as number.

    It only does this for me.  It doesn't do that on another person laptop who was give Windows 7.

    Has anybody seen or experienced this?  Any suggestions on what I can do to stop this?

    Thanks

      I have had that problem with other apps that extract dates. What I had to do to correct it was to format the cell as a date. That changed the number to a date. Good luck.

        This same problem arose for us after we applied an upgrade. I don't remember the details, but Lawson has a patch for this and after we applied the patch the problem went away.

          I should have said that it was an Add-In patch - so you'll need to upgrade the clients (we are using MOA_09000301P11491 which does not have this problem.
