Edit file ObjectHandler\gensrc\metadata\Functions\range.xml and
copy ohRange to a new class, say ohRange2, with datatype string
instead of double.

You will also need to create a modified copy of file
ObjectHandler\oh\ValueObjects\vo_range.hpp.  In the next
release of ObjectHandler this latter step will no longer be
necessary as this file is autogenerated.

When you rebuild the project, the code for the addin functions
should be created automatically and you should get an Excel
addin with your new ohRange2 class.

If you get stuck send another message and I'll send you a quick
demo project.
