listobject issue
 

Using vs2005, I created a dataset and bound it to a listobject in excel 2003.
The data is getting into the sheet fine. The first column is a 13 digit
account number which excel assumes is a number and puts it to scientific
notation format. I would like to have that column show as text and not
numeric. Can someone point me in the right direction? thx much.

Leave it as a number and format the column to display it the way you want.

If you have numbers that are greater than 15 digits, then you will have
problems. 13 digits should be fine.
