Put quotation marks around the number. "111" will be treated as a
string - and the string literal will be written to the file (not
swapped for its ascii equivalent - that you see without the
quotation marks around the number). 111 may be converted to the
ASCII equivalent of the "o" you speak of. If you need to convert it
back to a number for use in your program you can use the VAL()
function to convert the string ("111") to a number with which you
can do calculations (111+222=333).
HTH!
