I keep getting the error "not enough disk space or memory" when I try to change the data type from text to a number in development mode in Access (working with a database up to 2 GB), so I found a workaround mainly by creating a new column, setting the type there data by copying the contents of the old godfathers, deleting the old column and renaming the new column to the name of the old column.
I heard that ALTER TABLE can also be used to change the data type.
Can anyone give me an example of how to use ALTER TABLE to change the integer data type of columns to Number from text,
or does anyone have a better way to change the data type?
