I am recreating an existing Excel spreadsheet with an Access database. One column consists of sometimes all-numeric and sometime alphabetic values. I am now putting this data on the new spreadsheet from an Access table where the field is defined as text. The numeric values appear on the spreadsheet left-justified. This is as you would expect. But I would like them to be right-justified as they are on the original spreadsheet. But when I look at the field format on the original spreadsheet it says "General" just like on the new spreadsheet. Is there something else that's telling Excel that these values are numeric? What code can i use to set the values within a column so that they are General/numeric (and not affect alphabetic values in the same column.)
