Hello All,
I have a table (Commissions) in Access that has a field (ClientName) that is linked to a "ClientName" field in a "Clients" table. The relationship was made via the LookUp Wizard.
I would like to be able to import spreadhseets of data into the "Commissions" table, however I am seeing an issue every time I attempt it. The spreadsheet in excel matches the field title names for the table exactly, however when I import the spreadhseet it deletes the data in the ClientName field. The ClientName in the spreadsheet matches exactly character for character what is listed in the Clients table, but it still deletes the data from that column.
I tried turning off the "Limit to List" for that specific field in the Commissions table, but I received an error message stating that "The first visible column, which is determined by the ComlumnWidths property, isn't equal to the bound column." Not too sure what they're referring to here.
Additionally I tried replacing the names in the ClientName field of the excel spreadhseet with the Clients.ClientName's ID. This seemed to work, but isn't very helpful to me as we would have to replace each client name with the ID before importing it.
Has anyone had this issue before or know of any possible solutions? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
PS. The primary key in the Clients table is ClientName, not the ID number. Again thank you for any help you can provide!!
