Default Text to Columns

I have a macro which parses a comma delimited string, but have just
discovered an issue (XL2000)...

The output from this macro is input for further processing BUT apparently the
default behaviour for Excel is that once the Text to Columns action has been
performed, to continue doing it... problem is, subsequent entries that
contain comma's are being automagickally parsed, with the result that some
data is then being overwritten (because it's parsed into the wrong columns).

is there some way to cancel this once the intial macro has been completed?

TIA
