In a SharePoint list, I have defined a field as "Person or Group" and the
"Choose From" option is "All Users".

When a selection is made in this field, the name displays as expected in the
SharePoint list. However, when Access links to the SharePoint list, it sees
this field as a number rather than text.

Does anyone know how to explain this and how to work around it?

Thanks.
 
I resolved this issue by re-linking the SharePoint list and unchecking the
"Retrieve IDs for Lookup Columns" checkbox.
