I know your Excellencies will all have a heart attack, but I use a lot
of Excel for small databases. Nothing entered is a calculable number,
they are all codes. When I sort, say, ZIP CODE - the operative word her
being CODE, it says, Hey there, do you know that some of the numbers in
this column are formatted as text? and I set here and tell the computer,
Well, duh!!

I have all the auto-correct and auto-fill features turned off - is there
a way to get rid of this unhelpful reminder?

To the best of my knowledge nope. That reminder is going to pop up whether
you want it or not...
