Access 2002/2003. I have inherited an old Access 2000 database where one of the fields in the table had a Number data type containing TEXT. I noticed the wrong data type and I changed it to text. All appeared OK until I attached a combo box to this field. Whenclicking in or opening the combo box in any row in this table with the old text, I get an error message: "The value you entered isn't valid for this field. For example, you may have entered text in a numeric field or a number that is larger than the FieldSize setting permits." This field has about 3,000 records in it, and it appears to be corrupted and a permanent numeric field, I have tried everything to fix it: Compact and Repair; Import, append, and update this field into another table/field and I cannot get rid of the error message. How doI get this Number field finally and completely converted into aTEXT field? Anyone got any ideas? Thank-You!
