The values entered in a column should always be of string type. If the user enters a numeric value it should be changed to string. Example: if the user enters 100 it should be presented as "00100". I have tried a code into Worksheet.Change() with Cells(TargetRow,TargetColumn).value = "00100". The cell value does not change.
why don't you use a custom number format: 00000

Because that is only a presentation value - the real value will still remain numeric i.e. 100. 00100 is a zip code which will be forwarded to an external mail merging program.
