No offence Frank, but all the advice I have gotten from you has been shall

we say lame. There is 20 ways to manually do the text to numbers thing, I
can do that. I am looking to do it with vba so I don't have to do it
manually. Thanks anyway.

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
as text. When I try to sum these numbers, it will not sum because
excel thinks they are text. Isn't there a way to convert all these
to numbers through vba?
