Default Changing Text into Numbers, using VBA

Hi
one way (non-VBA):
select and empty cell and copy it
- select your imported values
- goto 'Edit - Paste Special' and choose 'Add'

When importing from a FoxPro database, all the charactors come over

excel thinks they are text. Isn't there a way to convert all these
to numbers through vba?
