In an Excel datalist I have a field named "zip Code". No matter what I do I
cannot seem to have that field show as a text field after the link is
established. I have formatted the field in Excel as text but no matter what
it always shows up as number in the linked table. Any thoughts? PLEASE.
 
Hi Brian,

Take a look at the registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Jet\4.0\Engines\Excel

WARNING: Before modifying your registry it's always recommended to back the
registry first
