SQL and Scientific Notation



Here is my sql statement:
INSERT INTO [Temp_Import] ([Item
Number],[Description],[User1],[User2],[User3],[User4],[User5],[User6],[User7],[User8])
SELECT [Item],[Desc],[u1],[u2],[u3],[u4],[u5],[u6],[u7],[u8] FROM [Large
Import.txt] IN "C:\Data\Delphi\Data\" "Text;"

The import value for Item Number is: 12345678901234567890123456789012345 and
Temp_Import is an Access table with the Item Number field being defined as a
text field 35 characters long. When I executed the sql statement I get the
following value in my Item Number field: 1.23456789012346E+34

Does anyone know why the sql statement is switching the data being read from
the text file to scientific notation?
