Hi

To format a range as General in VBA I use a code row like this:
...
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Forecast").Range("A1").Offset (k, 2).NumberFormat =
"@"

I have searche desperately for it, but I didn't find a way to set the
range to be formatted as Text (i.e. after the VBA formats the range, cell
format shows it formatted as Text). I tried to record a macro when
formatting the range as text manually, but all I did get back, was the
same code for setting format to General

Thanks in advance for your help!
