Found a solution.

Apparently you have to add an apostrophe to the beginning of each cell
in the column that you want to link as text.  Set up a macro to do that
and it works just fine.

Wasted a couple of hours figuring it out.

Access and Excel seems to be very stubborn when looking at the first 10
or so rows to determine type.  I hoped reversing my sort to put the
alphanumeric rows first would do the trick, but can you say NOT!  The
alphanumeric entries did fine and the numerics were nailed with a #NUM!

The apostrophe trick worked just fine (except it means that each cell
in the selected column now has an apostrophe which is not real data).

Thanks.
