Trouble finding specifics

I have a database set up to keep track of customers. Each customer has a unique ID number (automatically assigned).

The problem:

Customer A's ID is 128

Customer B's ID is 1287

When searching for Customer A by ID number 128, both records are found instead of just the one. (This creates a problem when trying to pull up one customer's purchase records, which incorperates their ID.)

Is there something about the ID field itself that needs to be changed? It's not a huge problem, but it gets more irritating the more ID numbers that are added.

Any tips?

Make the field a number field instead of text and you'll get the results you expect. This also affects the way the IDs will sort.

Oh, goodness. Something so simple! Duh.

I changed the field type and it worked.

Thanks a million!!
