Date Errors in Import of SCV File

Author	Message
GMB	Posted: Jun 05, 2009 Score: 0 When I import a CSV file from Outlook the due date of 5/6/2009 is read into Toodledo as May 2006. Can you fix this?
Anders	Posted: Jun 05, 2009 Score: 0 I have used the CSV import, and never seen anything like this. How exactly is the date formatted in your file? It doesn't make any sense at all for it to come out as 2006.
GMB	Posted: Jun 05, 2009 Score: 0 The date in the CSV file is shown as 5/6/2009. Toodledo appears to only read the 5/6 thus interpretating this as May 2006

Anders	Posted: Jun 05, 2009 Score: 0 I did not realize the import tool was so picky about date formatting. If you format it thusly, 2009-05-06, it will work. I don't know if that is the only accepted format, but I know it works. ~Anders
Anders	Posted: Jun 05, 2009 Score: 0 Also, I do not know if it will make a difference, but you could check your "date format" setting in "Your Date/Time" under "Account Settings", and make it match your file. ~Anders
GMB	Posted: Jun 05, 2009 Score: 0 Trying that but does not seem to make any difference
