J JE McGimpsey May 9, 2008 #3 Are you sure it's not increasing by 1 day + 4 years? That behavior happens when you copy from a workbook using the 1900 date system and paste into a workbook using the 1904 date system. If it's really only one day, I've no idea...

P Peo Sjoblom May 9, 2008 #4 What do you mean by drag and drop, if you mean you are dragging a date using the mouse and autofill? If you don't want it to increase by a day hold down ctrl while copying. -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom
