Default Text to Columns - Saving User Settings

I have a working Text to Columns macro. Everything is okay except my macro
is permanently changing the users text to column delimiter settings. How can
I determine what the delimiter settings are and store them before I change
them?

Thank you for any help you can give me.

You can't.

You could run your text to columns macro, then do a dummy text to columns, use
delimited and don't specify any delimiter.

This won't reset it back to what the user had, but your original settings won't
be remembered, either.

(It seems safer to me.)
