I have an Excel spreadsheet with e-mail addresses: column A is the 
user, column B is the domain. I need to concatenate them. Problem 
arises when I hit a compuserve address:

		set addLeft to value of cell 1 of row i of used range 
of active sheet
		set addRight to value of cell 2 of row i of used 
range of active sheet
	display dialog addLeft  --> 12345.6789
	display dialog (addLeft & "@"  & addRight) as string  --> 
[log in to unmask]

Applescript treats the number as floating point when converting it to 
a string???

The column in Excel is formatted as string.
