Hi Dirk

I used to support a tool that would write to Excel - to get around this problem, I'd set the cell's numeric format to a text one before setting it to the value.

Hi,

I?m using Scott Klement?s XLS Parser and it works file. However, the
parser sometimes treats zones in excel formatted as text as numeric
fields. For example : the as text formatted cel 000123 is parsed as 123
numeric where it should be treated as 000123 alpha. When I put an
apostrophe befor the zone (?00123) it is treated correctly. Unfortunately,
putting an apostrophe before each zone is no option for me?. . Anybody any
suggestions ?

Kr,
Dirk.
