I am trying to link an excel spreadsheet into an Access database using
Tool>Get external data> link. This works however a lot of the data types
are incorrect. E.g. one of the columns in excel shows names ( this is the
result of a formula), but when liked to Access that field is a number data
type and the data shows ether #Num# (where there was a name) or 0 (where
there was a blank. I have tried to change the data type in Access but it
will not let me. I have also changed the formatting of the column in Excel
but that as had no affect to the DB.
Any ideas welcome.
