Just a thought... Is it possible to "format" the excel column?

Lisa

Hi all,

I'm creating ASP application to write into a tab-delimited file to be 
read by Excel. This is the requirement, don't ask me why :-)

The desired output should be something like:
XYZ     0002393

The problem is when I open the output file using Excel, it becomes:
XYZ     2393

I know that in Excel we need to put single quote to explicitly 
indicate a value as a string. But when I purposely throw single quote 
in the ASP code, it becomes:
XYZ     '0002393

The single quote is also displayed!

In either case, that's not the desired outcome. 

Is there anything I can do?

thanks!
