In SharePoint, as a builder request I was told that they want to use the lookup function when typing in an email connected to the user directory. It works.. then I extract it to Access and when loading new data it doesn't load those fields because it auto changed the field to a numeric field and it appears I cannot update in SharePoint.

For the People or Group field what is the best way to change the numeric format to a short text?
