Cell Format Function "NumberFormatLocal" in VBA

[ppt_puppet]

Hi,
I have a written a simple macro to convert local time to UTC. The conversion
has no problem but the CellNumberFormat to does not get change to "m/d/yyyy
h:mm". It remains "General". Here is the code of the function. Can someone
please help me in sorting out this issue. This macro would be used both in
Office 2003 and 2007.

Application.Volatile
ActiveCell.NumberFormatLocal = "m/d/yyyy h:mm"
od = dt
Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
atb =
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation\ActiveTimeBias"
offsetMin = oShell.RegRead(atb)
nd = DateAdd("n", offsetMin, od)
LU = nd

i changed the format to just the date and ran your code and it changed the
formatting.

did you try ActiveCell.NumberFormat = "m/d/yyyy h:mm"?

not sure why your's isn't changing. are you on the same sheet?
