[AccessD] #Num!

Hi John

That's not nice. Who makes such spreadsheets?

How about saving (via code) the worksheet to a text file (.csv) and
then read this line by line validating the fields? Not very fancy, I
know, but what options are left?

I'm trying to import it into a temp table and get a "numeric overflow"
when
trying to do the append.  This even though I have converted ALL of the
fields to text.  The issue is coming from a date field with null in
the
first record (but dates in most of the rest).

Hi John

I don't think you can. 
An option might be to import the worksheet to a temp table. Then you
can
manipulate the data as you wish.

If you find a method please let us know.

Does anyone know how to convert #Num! in a linked spreadsheet to a null
or
something useable in Access?
