Excel and VB

(OP)
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

RE: Excel and VB

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

RE: Excel and VB

You could also try placing one single quote in front of the number
'456654788
