Receive date field while importing contributions

Hi!

In what format should the data that is mapped to the 'Receive Date' field be? Because I'm getting an 'Invalid value for field(s)' error!

I use Excel to configure my CSV file date formats before import.

I choose the format that looks like this MM/DD/YY which translates to 04/09/11

This format is supported well by CiviCRM during the import, it is the 2nd format on the date format list in the Civi import page.

I always have good luck with this approach.
