sql server reporting services : FORMAT ISSUE... what to do?

Hey,
I have a little format issue with Excel 2003:


I am working in reporting services - creating a report. The SQL store
procedure returns a date with the following format:


MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM PM/AM


In my report on that perticular text field I have the following format:

dd/mm/yyyy HH:MM:SS


Because I want it in military time.


It displays fine in the report but when I open it in Excel it brings up

the following ERROR:
"File Error. Some number formats may have been lost"


And it shows the date columns the following way:
"38692.46597"


The document is NOT huge and does't contain more than 2000 rows.


Any ideas on how to solve this?

Alright solved this:

Changed the format
"dd/mm/yyyy HH:MM:SS"
to
"dd/mm/yyyy HH:MM:ss"

seems that did it ... weird
