Format Problem

[randy]

Hi,

I am using an office web component spreadsheet and I am passing a text value
like "000013" to store in the spreadsheet. The spreadsheet shows the value
of 13. I set the numberformat property to General and it still does this.
Below are the only options I can set the numberformat to. Any ideas?

Format Effects
General date Displays a number as a date and optional time. For
example, 8/31/99 05:54 AM.
The fractional part of the number is the time. If a number has no
fractional part, only a date appears. If a number has only a fractional part
and no integer part, only a time appears.

Long date Displays a date according to the Windows regional setting
for the long date format. For example, Thursday, January 25, 2001.
Medium date Displays a date according to the Windows regional setting
for the month and date separator, and displays two digits for the year. For
example, Jan/25/01.
Short date Displays a date according to the Windows regional setting
for the short date format. For example, 1/25/01.
Long time Displays a time according to the Windows regional setting
for the long time format. For example, 8:45:36 PM.
Medium time Displays a time in 12-hour format with an AM or PM
designator, omitting the seconds. For example, 8:45 PM.
Short time Displays a time in 24-hour format, omitting the seconds.
For example, 20:45.
General Displays a number right-aligned, with no thousands separator,
and preceded by a minus sign if negative. Displays up to 11 digits, or 10
digits with a decimal point, rounding additional digits to the right of the
decimal point. Displays numbers with more than 11 digits to the left of the
decimal point in scientific format. Displays text left-aligned.
Currency Displays a number according to the Windows regional setting
for currency, with a thousands separator if appropriate and two decimal
places. For example, with the default English (United States) regional
settings, $2,532.75.
Euro currency Displays a number as euro currency, with a thousands
separator and two decimal places. The euro sign is placed before or after
the number according to the Windows regional setting for currency. For
example, with the default English (United States) regional setting, 12.35.
Fixed Displays a number with two decimal places. For example, 68.30.
Standard Displays a number with a thousands separator and two digits
to the right of the decimal point. The Windows regional setting for numbers
determines what's used for the thousands separator. For example, with a
comma as the thousands separator, 1,800.00.
Percent Displays a number multiplied by 100, with two decimal places
and a percent sign. For example, the value 0.8914 would be displayed as
89.14%.
Scientific Displays a number in exponential notation. For example,
1.25E+10.
Yes/no Displays No if the number is 0; displays Yes for any other
number.
True/false Displays False if the number is 0; displays True for any
other number.
On/off Displays Off if the number is 0; displays On for any other
number.

Don't about OWC as seems strange that there's no Text option, but..
Does it work if you pass "'000013" instead - note the extra ' before the
value.

Try

.Numberformat:="000000"

Try it before you say it doesn't work. I can do it manually even if it
isn't in the dropdown list.

Tom,

Thanks it worked. I have to set the Numberformat in code rather setting at
design.
