Here's a good one.  I was a spreadsheet jockey a long time ago.  I am
an IT Consultant now - mostly doing server & network management. This
one has me puzzled.

A client contacted me and said he got a (2007) spreadsheet somewhere
and just wanted to copy 2 columns from it to a new spreadsheet.  One
of the columns had dates in it.  When he copied the dates from the
source spreadsheet to the target spreadsheet - all the dates changed
by a time factor of 4 years and 1 day!  I asked him to send me the
spreadsheet and when I followed his steps - and copied several dates
from the source spreadsheet to a new spreadsheet that I had created -
the exact same thing happened - the dates all moved 4 years and 1 day
earlier.

I would sure appreciate your help explaining this if you can.

The dates are entered as values and there are no funky formats being
used.

Thanks.
Regards,
Allen
