I have a routine that imports a list of part numbers into a dataview:
strExcel = "Provider=Micro soft.Jet.OLEDB. 4.0;Data Source=" &
boxFile.Text & ";Extended Properties=""Ex cel 8.0;HDR=NO"""
cnnExcel = New OleDbConnection (strExcel)
da = New OleDbDataAdapte r("Select * from [ODRJYUFI$]", cnnExcel)
da.Fill(ds, "Excel")
dv = New DataView(ds.Tab les("Excel"))
This works fine exept when the following condition happens: The part
numbers are alpha-numeric. When a numeric only part number (mixed in with
alpha's) is read in, NULL is stored. The routine will read in numeric
values ONLY when all the part numbers in the spreadsheet are numeric.
I've tried formatting the column in the spreadsheet as Text to try and trick
the routine, with no luck.
Any suggestions? Thanks

Take a look at this site: http://www.connectionstrings.com/
There is another papramer to add in to the connection string to make certain
Excel treats intermeixed columns as text.

Perhaps I spoke a bit too soon.... that part works, but now all my date
fields are returned as an integer. Any way to convert these back to a date

What your probably seing is the numeric value of the date field , if it is
then all you need to do is convert it back to a date in your VB program.

Guys... Excuse me for jumping in, but I have exactly Rob T's problem, and
have done what Darrell suggested with success. The integer returned seems to
represent the number of days from a reference day, which I calculated to
12/30/1899. That is, an Excel table cell that contains '7/4/2005' returns
the integer 38537. If your reference date is: dt =
DateTime.Parse( '12/30/1899'), then dt.AddDays(3853 7) is '7/4/2005' which is
correct. But... isn't it a bit odd that 12/31/1899 (the last day of the
century) is not used? Am I missing something? Thanks! Tom Stanley

Hello:
Thanks for your quick response.
I'm trying to import a new Excel file into an A2K table and it's
truncating the data. One of the Excel columns is a text field that can
be up to 2000 characters. When I import it into A2K, that field is
truncated. If I try to inport the file into an EXISTING table that I
define myself where that field is a MEMO field, the import crashes.

Hi all
Yesterday I found a strange corruption-issue that I can't solve yet or actually point my finger at.
I converted an A97 app to A2k.
I have done this often enough so I didn't expect trouble here.
Conversion seems OK and I start the app. BUT . . .
Mainform doesn't work. Form comes up but none of the buttons react.
Why not? I go to design view and see that code is not compiled. (compile-option is active)
So I compile and go to normal...
