ADO with mixed data

[metricsinstitute]

Hello,

I am querying a column in excel of format General whose 7 first items are numerical and the next values are Text

The following works well but returns only the numerical values

ObjConnection.Open "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;" & _
"Data Source=" & TempName & ";" & _
"Extended Properties=""Excel 12.0;HDR=YES;IMEX=1"";"
Sql = "SELECT * FROM " & rs1
'rs1 refers coorectly to the column address

Is IMEX=1 in the ObjConnection not intended to deal with mixed format?

Please help
Avi

Why do you think it needs to be there at all?

To deal with mixed type data...At least what I was thinking
