I have cells of "built up" text strings like this:

which, when displayed, look like this:
xy=2524950.0000,341717.0000
The problem is, I want the cells to look like this:
CadInputQueue.SendKeyin "xy=2524950.0000,341717.0000"

In Excel, we would write:

="""xy="&TEXT(O12,"0.0000")&","&TEXT(P12,"0.0000") &""""

That is, a double-quote as character in a string is represented by a
pair of double-quotes in a formula.

Does that help you at all?

Yes. Someone in the .misc group gave me that answer as well, and it
works perfectly.

Thanks for your help.

Paul, I perhaps should have suggested that a cross-post to both groups
would have been preferable to the multi-post (identical postings to more
than one group) that you used. With a cross-post, everyone can see the
responses from either ng.

And yes, cross-posting is acceptable practice when not over-used.
