How to Avoid Auto Cell Formatting

[madhuchelliah]

Hello guys, i am importing data from a XML file. The contents are consists of Alpha, numeric and symbols. After importing, the cell formats are showing as General. Some of my values are like Date and Time format. After pasting, Date like values changed to 8 digit number and some Time like values showing with AM or PM suffixes. I want to keep the values as it is. How to do that using macro? The code below shown is i am using for importing. Thank you.

Sub Import()
   Dim wb1 As Workbook
   Dim wb2 As Workbook
   Dim ws As Worksheet
   Dim PasteStart As Range
   Dim FileToOpen As String
   Set wb1 = ActiveWorkbook
   Set PasteStart = [Sheet2!C2]
   'Sheets("Sheet2").Cells.ClearContents
   Dim FileName As String
Dim folderPath As String
folderPath = "C:\"
FileName = folderPath & ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("E4").Value & ".xml"
  FileToOpen = FileName _
   Set wb2 = Workbooks.Open(FileName:=FileToOpen)
   For Each ws In wb2.Worksheets
      If ws.Range("E1") = "" Then ws.Columns("E").Delete
      With ws.UsedRange
         .Copy PasteStart
         Set PasteStart = PasteStart.Offset(.Rows.Count)
      End With
   Next ws
   wb2.Close False
End Sub
