I've been using a database as a linked table for years, but just updated the whole excel table with new address information. It's an excel table, linked into Access and the font is something odd (which I know how to change), but the alignment on everything is right.

I have gone into the whole excel table AND THE Access Table and made sure it was all left-to-right. This is the only tip I can find via "help" section and microsoft and it's not solved my problem.

I use this every day, it's my main data, but I'm not good with macros, etc. I may have bumped something, or the new excel table may be a bit different. I've pasted the new info into the old excel table, but it didn't work.

IT is left aligned if I link it to a .cvs file, but I can't do updates with this.

Please help!
Thanks in advance!

Change the cell format of all the cells of the Excel worksheet to text. You must be using the default 'General' format which is akin to a variant in MS Access.
