>Just a quickie ... I'm accessing an Excel object from VFP, and I want to check the cell formatting before retrieving the data. Is it number or text? However, all I ever seem to get is "General," even after I went and formatted a sequence of cells (A1, A2, etc) in the worksheet to different formats.

>   _cliptext = IIF(LEN(_cliptext)>0, ;
>      _cliptext+CHR(13), ;
>      '') ;
>      + oExcelObject.Range("A"+ALLTRIM(STR(nRow))).NumberFormat
>ENDFOR
