You have to convert the both the Mac and PC to have the same default  
Date format for the Mac and PC.  In the Mac it would be System  
Preferences -> International -> Format-Dates (Remember to output 4  
digit year) . I don't remember the equivalent control panel on the  
PC. (Don't have one with me at the moment.)  I have to deal with  
about this time every year. I Still use PC Quicken on an old machine  
and Turbo Tax on the Mac.
