Hello,

I've run into a very peculiar issue when converting cell values to resolve
the "Number Stored as Text" issue. The first code segment is called by a
button on a worksheet from a code module within the workbook. The second
segment is executed within a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) Script
Task. The code executed within Excel works as expected. The SSIS executes,
but doesn't resolve the issue. The error persists.

Is there some difference between the code segments being overlooked? I'm
interested in your thoughts and opinions on this.

(FYI - I am aware server side automation is not recommended for several
reasons. Nonetheless, the company has chosen to utilize it. I can only
advise them of the consequences....)
