:P No, I'll fully admit that you told me how to do the replace in the COM object, but ya didn't post it here ;)
For those who might need this in the future: The end answer was to call the Replace function correctly and select the Cells object propperly. objRange = objExcel.Cells; objRange.Replace(What, With); In my case I ended up saving a CHR(3) in the file, so I have objRange.Replace(CHR(3), "'"); Since the data is being manipulated within Excel itself, this causes the cell to force-format to text from that point on, which is what I needed. And yes, Phil told me the solution.
