Format Column to display leading zeros.
Using an external program with a language very similar to VB I have a script
that uses CreateObject to create a new workbook and fill with data. All well and good. I have one column that is filled mostly with numbers where I need to see any leading zeros. How would I format this column before filling it? Changing the format after the data is entered results in missing leading zeros. With xl ..ActiveSheet.Columns("F:F").NumberFormat = ? Regards, Glenn |

Thanks to all who replied to my post.
After experimenting I found Peter's suggestion worked the best for my variable length data. Thanks again. Glenn.
