I am performing a collection of values from different cells on a

field in Access is a Text field.

Is there some type of Format function that I can use to push the C2
value into Access the way I need it?

Hi Mat
You can use a custom format, (Format> Cells go to the Number tab and
select Custom), and insert this following 0000#. However this will not
change the value, only what is displayed. To change the actual value,
to match what is being displayed, will need a small VBA macro. I have
it if you need it, let me know.
