In a mdb table, I have a text field with values of 1, 2, .... When I use rodbc to read it into R, it becomes numeric. Is it a bug or something? Thanks.

Hi All, I'm using Microsoft Office 2007 Beta version and I have one file in .xlsx format with size 168MB. How can I use odbcConnectExcel in this as this function only supports .xls format? I have huge data containing 603470 rows in a .csv file. Thanks in advance. Sumanta Basak.
