Default Detect Prcentage Format in a Cell

Hi,

I want to be able to detect the format of a formula or value in a cell and
particularly if it has percentage format.

I can't find a clever VBA statement to detect the cell format so I thought
about testing the cell value using "Instr" to see if the "%" was the last
character in the string. However when I write a VBA statement to test the
variable it restates the value of the cell from %'s to a decimal (e.g. 5%
becomes 0.05) thus eliminating the % sign I'm attempting to detect...

Ideas most welcome...Chris
