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.
