Number Format

[Bill]

Hello,
I have the following that works in Excel 2003, but not in Excel 2000. I
am trying to apply a number format to an average of a range (called DB)

Dim VF as string, DB as database, DAvg
VF = DB(1,1).numberformat
DBavg = format(application.average(DB),VF)

When the number format is General, the value I get for DBAvg is
"Ge5enral". Why is that happening and how do I get around this?

Thanks.

I don't know about Excel 2003, as I only have 2002, but in 2002, numberformat
is not a property of the Database object.

What would you use to find the number format in Excel 2002 then?

When I've used the NumberFormat property in Excel 2002, I've used it as a
property of the Range object.

I really don't have any experience with the Database collection or object. But
in VBA6, there is no NumberFormat property for that object.
