scientific notation

so I'm importing excel data into access.. the problems fields are
mostly text.. but some large integers...
and the large integers (stored in a text column in excel) keep on
getting changed to scientific notation.


is there somewhere that i can tell windows or excel-- or something--
to NEVER EVER EVER use scientific notation?

i mean seriously here

is there a way to make excel WORK?

because it's a crap program and i dont understand why you babies use
this program.

i mean-- grow up and learn a real program.. all you're doing is
cramping my style.

It sounds like it is you that should either learn the program that you are
using; or use a program that meets your requirements.


Since you think Excel is "a crap program", why are you even here?

Troll?

i believe that Excel is mis-managed by the worlds most powerful
software company.

Excel doesnt work.

I mean-- i have a column with mixed large numbers; and excel keeps on
rendering it as scientific notation.. i mean-- wtf is up with Excel; it
is like the most buggy program ever written

You obviously don't have very much experience with other software. XL
has bugs, but there are far more worthy candidates for your hyperbole.

Take a look at "About custom number formats" in XL Help.

Don't waste your time. The guy is either a troll or the most immature
person to visit a newsgroup. He'd probably walk into an AA meeting,
offering to buy a round for the group and when no one took him up
on his offer, start preaching that AA is a cult.
