There is a separate "Text" format in Excel. You would probably have to set this first, and then insert the value. Using the macro editor in Excel, and applying this format, gives me:
Selection.NumberFormat = "@"
Adapting this to VFP would produce a command similar to the following:
oSheet.Cells(lnRow, lnCol).NumberFormat = "@"
oSheet.Cells(lnRow, lnCol).Value = "2E63"
See if this works; I don't have VFP at hand right now.

Automation should be almost identical in Office 97 and 2000, as well as later versions, AFAIK.
