Hi all, not sure if this is a MS-Query issue, Access DB, or XL. Anyway, I have an access DB holding text values in the format 123456-12-12. When I do my MS Query, it seems to be taking out the dashes, even though they're stored with dashes in the database table. So when I pull info into XL through MS query there's no dashes, but I'd really like to keep the dashes! Any help is much appreciated.
