Alphanumeric field sometimes goes into Excel as hex; sometimes not. -- MIDRANGE-L

When one of our users downloads a query into an Excel spreadsheet, the 
alphanumeric item number field shows as hex.  This field is from a query 
database file (let's say file A), and the physical file looks the same on 
the AS/400 as another file (let's say file B).

We are running Client Access Express on a 620-9406 with the V4R4 O/S and 
upgraded our ERP package (MAPICS) in June.

Why is this field showing up as hex in Excel from file A but not file B?
