Default Format Number to Text

Is it possible to format numbers into text from vba code? The situation is
that we insert data from a database into an Excel spreadsheet. One of the
columns is an address column. The address column often has normal address
data, but sometimes it will only contain a number like 1435, which causes
Excel to treat that cells data as a number. So when we import the data back
from Excel the column is misread because of the different formats for the
cells. The database export unfortunately wipes out the column type, so
changing its format type to text does nothing. Can the format command in VBA
change a cells type?

Thanks for the help,
ACFalcon
