Hello,

How would I append data from excel to access table if different data type? For example:

access table datatype:
AUTONUM
TEXT
DATA/TIME
TEXT
NUMBER
NUMBER
TEXT
TEXT
TEXT

excel table:
Number
text
number
number
number
number
number

I got error message for data type mismatch...but I could not change datatype in excel to work...please advise thanks,

SMerrill

There is not enough information here to answer your question. Please include a snip of your Excel spreadsheet, and there will be a process to convert it.

Often, a developer simply imports everything from Excel as text, then transforms it once it gets into Access.
