Origin Ver. and SR (Select Help-->About Origin):
Operating System: Windows XP
Hi. I am new to OriginPro 8 and LabTalk. I wrote a basic program to load data from an Access 2003 database into an Origin Workbook and then copy the data into different workbooks within the same Origin project. Previously, the users were loading data manually from text files into the workbooks A1, A2, etc. There already was an Interpolate button in the project and it works fine when users manually load the data files. My load and copy program is meant to replace the manual load only.
My load program appears to load the data properly from Access into the correct workbooks, however, the Interpolate button no longer works properly. After my load program was added, only the string values work from the Interpolate button but none of the number values. Since the values look correct, I assume my program is copying the values as text rather than numbers.
I have pasted my code below. I had a hard time understanding substitution and hope that the problem with my code is an easy one. There is only one string value being copied in the code and it is always the first value being copied. I could therefore modify my code below to handle that value and then program the other columns.
Thanks for any help you can offer. I am really stuck!

Thank you, cpyang, for your help. You were right. This resolved my formatting issue and allowed me to move on to fine tune my program.
Thanks again.
Regards,

What is the reason for
A1!cell(s,t)$ = JVLData!cell(x,y)$;
Why not
A1!cell(s,t) = JVLData!cell(x,y);
