Hi,

It sure looks like the string "General" is being interpreted as a format
string and that your value is being inserted at the "n" position. I will
have to investigate if the behavior Format in Excel 2003 has changed. I'll
post another reply as soon as I have finished investigating.

Thanks for your patience.

Thanks,

Jim
