type mismatch in a form

[BeckyC]

I have changed some fields from number to text format in the table from which
I have created a form. Even though I have changed the control type to "List
Box" in the form, I still get a "type mismatch" error when trying to enter
data in the form.

Is your listbox multiple column? Could it be that column 1 is pulling
numbers from a lookup table?

Why did you change the control type to listbox?
was it previously a text box? If it was maybe you need to make it a
textbox and change the format property to text

These should be two independent actions. What's the Row Source property of
your listbox? What do you want it to display? Why a Listbox anyway?
