    I would think using one of the conversion functions would work:

    SELECT CLng(FieldName) AS NewFieldName...

    Look in help at the various functions for the appropriate one for you.

    Didn't try CLng(), but Val() did end up working. Just like in Excel, should have thought about that sooner! Thanks!
