errors while importing txt file

[Guest]

i use the following code for import
DoCmd.TransferText acImportDelim, , "TempTable", Me.txtFileName, False

Me.txtFileName=New Raw Data.txt
TempTable = all fields(F1-F44) are type double

after import i see that 2 tables are created with the following data...
VALUE field is not part of the table... i traced the value of that
row,column in the txt file...

the corresponding cells in the temptable are 'null' - the value is not
imported
i have a total of about 5000 records with 44 fields... only these three are
null

New Raw Data_ImportErrors

Object Name Object Type Failure Reason Time
TempTable Table Could not save the object 5/17/2007 4:30:40 PM

why am i getting these errors? how do i fix them? also in the temptable.. i
have one blank row.. all fields are null... why does it insert this null
record... how do i restrict it?

Hi,
perhaps imported value exceeds field limit? what you can do -import all
fields as text into one more temp table (create import specification for
this) and then run append query to insert all rows you need to TempTable,
converted to proper type
