Best Answer

A field of this data type will accept both numbers and text. The alphanumeric keys are the part of the deyboard that looks like a typewriter. When to use - it you want to enter text, or a mixture of text and numbers. When NOT to use - if you want to store only munbers, or only dates. You can enter numbers or dates into text fields but they would get sorted as if they were words and could not easily be used for any calculations.
