[AccessD] Access 2K to Excel changes field format

In the query, concatenate a single quote to the front of the value.
Excel will see that as text and leave it alone.

Subject: [AccessD] Access 2K to Excel changes field format


Hi all

I have an ID field which is TEXT 14 characters

In the Access report it is being displayed correctly 66007573735D01

When this report is put to EXCEL through the "Analyze it through EXCEL"
it is dropping the D so the ID changes to 6.60076E+11  I have changed
the excel format to TEXT. If I then go to that cell highlight and leave
it will look like this 660075737350

I have the field formatted in the query and access report as text
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@. Is there something in excel or access that I have to
change in the options. This does not make sense and it is causing
problems sending the results to others.

Thanks
