    Question Formulas showing as text

    Hello,
    I am trying to link a form to a spreadsheet that will be used as an import into Access.
    When I tried to create the form however, all my links are showing as Text and not the information that is in the linked cells. How do I get rid of this?
    I am trying to set up some combofields on the form to make entry easier.
    Here is what I am working with.


    Thanks that worked, how I would have ever figured that out by myself is beyond me!!

    Select the entire sheet by clicking the grey intersection of columns/rows box at top left corner of spreadsheet and go To Edit|Replace and enter an = sign in both fields.

    Click Replace All.

    Then Ok.

    Then, while sheet is still selected, go to Format|Cells and select General from the Number tab
    Where there is a will there are many ways.
