>I tried the Copy and Paste method myself, but I had problems with character data. Some shoes had codes like "0052113"; the zeroes at the beginning dissapeared when I transfered them with Copy and Paste.

"Copy and Paste" works. Pb is due to localization (excel does not like localised strings pasted).

Insert this:

SET POINT TO "."
SET DATE TO ANSI

...before MS excel pasting:

oRef.Range("A2","A2").PasteSpecial()
