Question : Access 2007 Linked to Sharepoint with Drop-downs - type mismatch
Hi,
I have a sharepoint list. A column in this list is the input for a column in another sharepoint list, via a drop-down. When I link this second list to my access database, it calls the data type for the field a number, whereas it was text data that was being selected in the drop-down. Is there any way I can force access to recognize the items selected from the drop-down list as text? I'm getting type mismatches!
Thanks so much!!!

Values retrieved from list- or comboboxes are always text.
Either convert the value retrieved to a numeric:
= Val(YourRetrievedValue)
or convert the values to filter to text with CStr:
CStr(YourNumericField)
