settings -format

[Natalie Johnsons]

I want to create a file in which the settings of the file are not affected by the user filing the file or to be affected by the settings on his or her PC. I will use this file as input to a data base that is why i do not want the user to have any chance of changing these setting for the different fields .
sometimes the users*have different*setting
Any idea . Thanks**

Post a copy of your worksheet and how you would like the settings. Be specific. We can offer lots of suggestions, but without working specifically with your workbook, it is like throwing darts blindfolded.
