I looked thru all the old e-mails I got from ProFox and could not seem to find this. Even though I am SURE someone in the group mentioned this problem - and somewhat recently. Oh well, here goes...
I have this one utility that needs to export data to Excel. Which, for the most part - it does it just fine. The problem is, I need to be able to export this like a FedEx or UPS Tracking # that the user must enter. And, if that tracking number is big and all digits (like 18 digits long) - when you open the Excel file - those tracking numbers get displayed as some kind of Exponential number. I'm sure others have run into the problem. So - what is the best solution for this issue? I know I can do some Office Automation to fix it - but, I would rather avoid Automation - for many of the obvious reasons and drawbacks for going that route.
