Formatting 11001981003213 as text..

11001981003213 is a serial number. I'm an Access Programmer running
automation to Excel. This long serial number, even when formatted as text on
the Auto_Open event, displays as scientific notation.

Is there an Excel setting to ensure it appears as text?

TIA - Bob
