Turn Off Auto-Format in Macro
You can show your code?
thanks regards r Il mio ultimo lavoro ... http://excelvba.altervista.org/blog/...ternative.html "Derek Johansen" wrote: Hey everyone, I am currently working on a macro to import data from a text file using a deliminator. I really don't have much (if any) access to the outputting program to make changes, so everything needs to happen on my end. What's happening is when I pull in the dimensions of lumber, excel is seeing things such as "3-1/2" or "7/16" and autoformatting them to be a date like "3/1/2002" or "16-July." This is a big problem for me because I need to know the dimensions of my lumber to accurately assign item codes and pricing. What I thought would be an easy fix was to shut off auto format for excel while the macro is running, and as a last line of the macro i would enable the macro back on. I have been doing some searching and can't find much on macros and auto-formatting. I know there are some good programmers here, so I'm hoping one of you knows how to do this! Thanks in advance, Derek |
