Format a cell using vba from Access application

[taspratt]

I am creating an Excel spreadsheet from a table in Access 97.

For intCounter = 2 To rsRecord.fields.Count - 1
intCount = intCount + 1
oSheet.range("A" & intCount).Value = IIf(IsNull(rsRecord.fields(intCounter)), "N/A", rsRecord.fields(intCounter))
Next

Table contents:
0
9
>576
PASS

Excel after running my code:
A
1 0
2 4
3 >576
4 PASS

Populating Excel is working fine.

I have a second Excel spreadsheet that links to my newly created spreadsheet and pulls the values from the specific cells. In my second spreadsheet I need to do calculations on A1 and A2 but the field format for these cells all are General which means I can't do a numeric calculation on it - if(NewSpreadsheet![A2] >5, ">0", NewSpreadsheet![a2]), the result always turns out to be true.

I know the code in Access to check to see if the value is numeric before I write it to Excel. (Sometimes the value in A2 will be ">15", this is why I need to check to see its value.)

What code do I need in Access to format the cell to be numeric before I plug the value in?

Thanks,
Terry
