If you are able to write a block of data, then you should be able to read a block. The four requirements that you want to verify are: 1. The Range specified must match the exact size and location of the data block you want to read 2. The returned data is in a 2D array of Variants (either strings or numbers) 3. Use Variant to Data to convert to 2D DBL or 2D Strings 4. Check for the correct orientation for your application (use transpose if it is not)
