Question : Difference between .Value and Value2

MSDN says that .Value is a parameterized property of the Range object while .Value2 is not. Why would anyone want to use .Value2 instead of .Value?

Answer : Difference between .Value and Value2

Good question! Value2 does not use the date or currency data types. If you enter 01/01/2006 in cell and then retrieve Selection.Value and Selection.Value2 you will get 01/01/2006 and 38718 respectively. Quite why that would ever be particularly useful, I don't know; I have certainly never used Value2 for anything.
FWIW
