TransferSpreads heet Import Errors

I'm using TransferSpreads heet to import an Excel file in to MS Access
2003.

DoCmd.TransferS preadsheet acImport, 8, strTable, strFileName, True, ""

One of the columns in the Excel file is a number formatted field, but
occasionally a cell in that column will not have a value.

When that happens, the code is not returning an error, but I end up
with a table of the Import Errors where that blank field value could
not be imported.

Does anyone know how to to get TransferSpreads heet to allow these
blank cells and not give me the import error tables?

Look at the design of the table that the spreadsheet is being imported into.
In the column in question, check the settings for "Required" and "Allow zero
length", as these may not be set properly.

Hope this helps,

The TransferSpreads heet is creating the table that it is importing
into. Can I change the field properties as part of
TransferSpreads heet?

The way I have mine set up is that I have a table that I specify in the
transferspreads heet statement. I match up the column headinigs of the xls to
the table, where I can define table properties, such as the required
property:

DoCmd.TransferS preadsheet acImport, 8, "ImportPart s", strFileImport, true

So my temp table for holding the import already exists and is named
"ImportPart s".

Hope this helps,

I try to use this command to import a spreadsheet "DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, 8, tablename & " -tbl", DIR & "Book2.xls", True" and it errors out. If I try to import that same spreadhseet with menu commands directly it works fine. The Docmd.transferspreadsheet command has always worked for me in the past, I will admit the excel file I'm importing is now slghtly different but I cannot figure out why the transfer does not work.
