IP Address

[Arnie]

Hi folks i am trying to use transferspreadsheet and in some of the cells are
IP address but when i attempt this i get an error message saying a problem
has occured and that either it is due to data type or validation rules.
MyTable is set to text and there are no validation rules applied.

ta in advance

Hi Arnie

I have just tried to reproduce your problem and IP addresses import
perfectly as text. Can you please give us some more information:
What versions of Access and Excel?
What else is in the spreadsheet?
Specifically, is there numeric data in the first few rows of the IP
address column?
Are you using acImport or acLink?

Graham hi thanks for replying.

Excel 2003 SP3
Access 2003 SP3

acimport

the ip Address is just held in various cells which are formated as general
in excel
it is not an ip specific coloumn

code is

DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9, "tblTemp",
strFile, No, "Settings!D35"
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9, "tblTemp",
strFile, No, "Settings!D78"
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9, "tblTemp",
