Excel and VB

[shay11]

Hi,
I have a question about excel in VB: I'm creating an excel file from VB code, and I have there very long numbers, such as 456654788 (mainly ID numbers). When I insert these numbers into the excel file (through the code) the excel shows them to me like that 4.56+E10 (or something similiar).
My question is how can I force the excel to take these numbers as strings (and all through code ofcourse, I know how to do it thorugh the excel itself...)
Thanks,
Shay

Have you tried to use the macro recorder to capture how you do it manually?

You could also try placing one single quote in front of the number

'456654788
