Property Value
Type: System.String
Remarks
Use this property only when your query table is based on data from a text file (with the QueryType property set to xlTextImport), especially when the file contains decimal and thousands separators that are different from those used on the computer, due to a different language setting being used.
The following table shows the results when you import text into Microsoft Excel using various separators. Numeric results are displayed in the rightmost column.
