Being new and naïve, when I created a table I used the Lookup Wizard to make the field limited to a list from another table.

Is it too late to change the Data Type of a field? If Not, how?

Thanks
 

Excel Facts

Pivot Table Drill Down
Double-click any number in a pivot table to create a new report showing all detail rows that make up that number
In design view, select the new datatype. It may or may not break things - depends on what's in the field, and whether or not it is used elsewhere.
