Then there must be something peculiar about the cell in question.
My original script worked fine on my machine when the field in question was
a regular text field. I'm pretty sure Jean-Baptiste also checked his script
before posting (and I can see why coercing to a string might be necessary if
the cell is a number or calculation field).
If it's still failing on your machine, something else is amiss. What type of
field is the "MS KB number" field you're using? Is it a repeating field?
