I want to write an export file in a normal tab list to be imported and read by Excel. Unfortunately, one of the entries is a 12-digit number. When Excel reads it in, it automatically exponates it. Is there coding that can automatically tell Excel *not* to, so that the full 12-digit number is displayed?
 
Can you pre-format the column as text? You could also write a macro to accomplish this, to avoid having to preformat the column.
