Excel uses 'E' to indicate scientific notation, so 3E02 is
interpreted as shorthand for 3*10^2, which Excel displays as
3.00E+01. Format the cell as Text prior to writing the value to
the cell, or include an apostrophe in front of the number.

Hello All,

I've got a multi page which contains several chkboxs on. When a
user
clicks the submit button, the code will loop through the check
box's,
find out which ones have been checked and then populate a range
with
the caption of the checked box's.

Works greated, except for when it comes to a certain set of
captions.
All of the captions are in the form of 03A01, 03B02, etc.

However when it get's to 03E01 & 03E02 it the populated cells
read
3.00E+01 (& 02 respectivly). When I look at the "format cell"
on the
actual worksheet it lists it as "scientific" instead of general
as the
rest are. I've tried changing the formating back to general but
when I
run the form it changes back again.

Is "03E" a reserved notation or something?

It works fine with 03F, etc. just 03E doesn't work.

Sorry for the long post, just trying to give as much info. as
possible.

Thanks.
