Shari,
Those type conversion errors should help you debug this and figure out what
is going on. If I remember correctly, this error table will have 3
columns/fields in it: 1 to tell you what row/record the error occured on, 1
to tell you what field/column the error occured on, and the error type. So
you have to look at the design view of the table you are importing into to
find out what the data type of the 2 error columns are, and you have to try
to figure out what data types XL is trying to make those columns. The best
way to figure out what type XL is making them is by checkin your new import
table to see what data types were assigned to those 2 error columns, then we
gotta figure out how to get the data into the table.
Please look up the data types of your error columns in your Data table. If
you don't have too many columns, please provide me with the all of the field
names and their data types. If that is too much work, just provide me with
the names and data types of your error columns. Do the same thing for your
new import table. Also, you will probably need to give me an example of
data in those 2 columns in your XL file.
FYI, there is a good chance that Access imported all of the records from you
XL file but left those 2 error columns blank in the rows where errors
occured. In other words, there may be some rows imported that were valid
and some that have errors. In order to import your XL file again without
errors, you will need a way to filter out all of those rows that were
imported, not just the error ones, so they can be deleted. If you import
again without deleting rows that were imported previously, you will have
duplicate data.
Please provide me with more info and I will try to help you out as best I
can,
Conan
