Not sure why you posted your message (I don't see it as a response to
anything in my newsreader); however I wanted to point out that this line....

.Cells(i, "E").Value = "'" & Left("00000", 6 - _
Len(.Cells(i, "E").Value)) & _
.Cells(i, "E").Value

can be replaced with this slightly shorter (and perhaps more
straightforward) one...

..Cells(i, "E").Value = "'" & Right("000000" & .Cells(i, "E").Value, 6)
