How are you importing the file? I can think of a ton of methods you can use so it might help to know what you are doing. Also, is this a one time deal or something you need to do repeatedly.

>I'm having a little trouble Importing an Excel file. There are several columns in the file. The 1st 2 have formulas in them. When these 2 columns are Imported, there is a strange chr() added at the front of the string. And the last character is removed. Even when there is ample room in the cursor's field. When I attach the cursor to a grid, that anomoly appears as a small box. But if you click on the grid's cell. The entire string disappears.
