Hi
I have a a fairly large Excel sheet that I linked to from Access.
Everything seems to work fine except for one field.
The priority field is a text field and can have values such as
1,2,3,3a,3b,3c, however, when viewed in access the values 3a, 3b, 3c
appear ok, but those with just 1,2,3 have the value #Num!
The cell format in Excel is set to text and the field format in access
is set to text. So does anyone have any ideas how to resolve this?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Just in case anyone was interested, i managed to resolve the problem by
re-typing the numbers over themselves in Excel, bizarre behaviour....

This is because the data was entered first, then the cells were changed to
text format, this doesn't affect the data that's already entered though.
The quick way (if there are a few cells) to update this is to step into each
cell, hit the F2 key and then hit enter, you don't have to type the data in
again.
