Before I post my question, can you use the SQL CAST function in the SQL view of MS Access 2000 to link two tables by their primary keys that have two different data types?

i.e. Table1 has member_nbr as numeric
Table2 has member_nbr as text.

No, but there are intrinsic Access conversions you can use. Check out CInt(), CLng(), CDate(), etc.
