   I have an VB App that reads an Excel Sspreadsheet and it seems to having   
   problems determining the data type of a column. The column in question has   
   alpha numeric content eg S001, B123 or 1234. I am aware that when reading   
   Excel Spreadsheets it will determine the datatype of a column, by looking at   
   the content of the first few rows. If it determines that the column is text,   
   then all numeric cells/fields are returned as null and if the column is   
   determined as numeric, then all text fields are returned as null.   
      
   Many Thanks
