try this macro:

Sub jem()
With ActiveSheet
.Cells(27, 11) = """0" & .Cells(27, 11)
End With
End Sub

Hope this helps / Lars-Åke

Or, you can just custom format as 00000

That will only give you the 0, not the " I guess.

then you could use the custom number format \"00000

But the cell would still just contain 1234 - don't know what the OP wants
actually stored in the cell

for a macro:

Sub FormatCell
ActiveCell.NumberFormat = "\""00000"
End sub
