What is the property and syntax to format a cell as text

[Guest]

With ActiveCell
.Offset(, 3).NumberFormat = "Text"
this fails - runtime error 1004, unable to set NumberFormat

.Offset(, 3).NumberFormat = "General"
works OK

What is the property/syntax to format a cell as text?

Eggle, try, .Offset(, 3).NumberFormat = "@"

Paul gave you the answer, but these are the kinds of things that you can find
out quickly by recording a macro when you do it.

It's another thing that you don't have to remember, since excel can tell you in
just a minute or two.
