Number Format Field to Allow Text Value?

The best way is to use a newsreader, rather than relying on the web
interface.

If you've got Internet Explorer, you've already got Outlook Express. Point
to msnews.microsoft.com, and there are hundreds of newsgroups available.

If you stick with the web interface, if you go to
http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups/ and select Office Solutions
Development from the left hand side, Access Queries is about three-quarters
of the way down the list under Access.

Sorry, I just didn't know which group would be most appropriate. I
didn't think I was cross-posting, just multi-group posting the same
message thread.

That's what cross-posting is. Sure, it's better than multiposting,
which is when you post a separate message to each group to ask the same
question. But cross-posting to irrelevant groups is still frowned on.
You shouldn't be looking for maximum saturation for your message, you
should be looking to target it to the one or two groups where it is on
topic. In this case, the .queries group would probably have been best,
but I can understand how you might not realize it. The question is way
off-topic for the .setupconfig group.
