I am trying to import data from an Access database into R. I would like to import the CIP codes for some majors, which can contain leading zeros. RODBC is converting the CIP code to a numeric value even though it is defined as text in Access. Can anyone shed light on how I can coerce this field into a text field on import?

Try using the argument
as.is = TRUEin thesqlQueryfunction. That usually does the trick for me.
