i am importing from excel and i have a column that has account numbers and at some point i have an account like this... 2C1C18100
on the import i get an error.
i set the field to memo, numner or text and still get the same error..
any suggestions?
thanks in advance
Good afternoon all,
I have a macro that I run. In this macro, I've changed the "SetWarnings" to No. This works since I do not get a "Are you sure..." when I do a makeTable query and the table already exists.
However, I do get a type conversion failure error message.
Does someone know how I click Yes on this without any intervention on my part when the macro is running? Would entering keystrokes in the macro work? I don't think that they will since the next command is not called until the previous has executed ... and I'm getting hung up on the dialog box before the make-table command has finished execution.
I've attached the error message text that I'm seeing.
Thank you for your time and help.
I am trying to import an Excel spreadsheet into an Access 2007 database. Each time I import, Access creates a 'type conversion failure' error database.
I set up the first field in my .db to be a TEXT field because the Field will have both numeric and text characters. The field name is [estimate number] with numbers such as 656111 or 65611A being imported. All the fields with the numeric and alphabetical combination (i.e. 65611A) are not being imported (which results in the creation of the error db).
Here's my Goal: To open a saved query that has a parameter, setting that parameter via a VBA sub.
Here's my Problem: I was getting various errors, but after debugging my program a bit, it comes down to a "Data Type Conversion Error"
Here's my Code:
Set db = CurrentDb
Set qd = db.QueryDefs("qryMY_DATA")
qd.Parameters(0) = Me.txt_ReferenceID
Set rs = qd.OpenRecordset("qryMY_DATA", dbDynaset)
Code:
'*** Database Variables
Dim db As DAO.Database, rs As DAO.Recordset, gq As DAO.QueryDef, prm As DAO.Recordset
I've been all over the forums and tried several different approaches, all to no avail. The Query runs fine in the QDT, but kicks back an error when I try to run it from my sub.
Hi,
I feel a little silly bringin this up but I have gone through the solutions provided on this topic but it all doesnt seem to work.
I am trying to up date my Products table with data from two other tables (Sales and Stock Receipt). I have made sure the data types in all the tables are the same (currency) but I still get this message
"Microsoft Access did not update 5 field(s) due to a data type conversion failure."
This is the expression I'm using in the update query
IIf(IsNull(DSum("[Quantity]","Sales Detail","Sales Detail.[ProductID]=" & [Products].[ProductID])),[Products]![OpeningStockAmt],[Products]![OpeningStockAmt]-(DSum("[Quantity]","Sales Detail","Sales Detail.[ProductID]=" & [Products].[ProductID])*[Products]![CostAmountperUnit]))
Hi,
I am having problems with a DLOOKUP expression in an update query.
I have set up a lookup table (imported from Excel and another table set up myself because of this error) with a date field and a week number field and I am trying to return the week number into another table for the date in another field. It is easy to do in Excel (VLOOKUP), but I have never done this in Access.
I am attempting to get the update query to update another table which has a Date of Booking and a new week number field. When I run the query, it has the error message that it cannot update all of the records, due to a type conversion failure. I thought that this error was due to fields have dissimilar data types and changed them until they were exactly the same - the Week Number are both Long Integer number fields and the dates are a General Date date fields.
The expression is: DLookUp("DLOOKUP Created.Week Number","DLOOKUP Created","Date = " & [2004 Lookup].[Date of Booking]). The lookup table is DLOOKUP Created and this is the return value I want. The 2004 Lookup table is the table that I want to update with the week number, using the date of booking.
Any help will b gratefully receive.
All the best,
Roly
Hi Gurus, need your help yet again.
I have a linked table in Access 2007(link back to SQL Server), and when i look into the values of a 'Memo' Column called "Column_1" in Access, it is just fine.
Now, In a query I am doing the following IIF statement:
Expr1: IIF([table_1].[Column_2]="Cost",[table_1].[Column_1]
But when i see the values of Column_1 now, some of the ending characters are being cut off, i only get half of the entire text.
Should i be doing any type-casting or anything to bring the entire text?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Kon
I am trying to import records from Excel and I have two issues:
1) I have imported the excel file into a new table and I get type conversion errors just for fields 25, 26, 28 and 29 (and only for rows 2 to 25) but there aren't that many fields in the table.
2) The second is that I get key violations even though the indexing for all the fields for "table_candidate" is set to "no" (apart from the "cand_ID").
I can't see anything wrong with the records.
I have an update query:
Query: DateExtractor
--------------------------------
Type: update query
Field: ProductionDate
Table: Production
Update To: DateSerial("2000"+Val(Mid([Code];1;2));"Mid([Code];3;2)";"Mid([Code];5;2)")
Field [Code] is a Text field and ProductionDate is Date/Time type, with short date format.
As I run query, there's an error that says "Microsoft Access didn't update 99 field(s) due to DateSerial,..."
I keep getting the above error in access 2010 and cannot see where the error is. I have checked that datatypes are the same. It keeps referring to type conversion failure and didn't add (1) record due to a key violation.
Code:
INSERT INTO Requests ( [Request no], [Date-time received], Customer, Dept, Type, [Service level], [Received by], [Date-time due], Quantity, [Cust requestor], Status )
VALUES (9896, NOW(), 'DEMO', 'Demo Ltd', 'I', 'S', 'LT', NOW(), 1, 'LT', 'O');
I have a linked table using ODBC. The table linked has improper field type: all numeric fields are linked as decimal. Because of this if I want to import the contens of this linked table in one new, the database has high dimension.
find a place where I can set the field conversion for linked tables or to make Access to performe the better type conversion (if the field is integer on source table to be integer on linked table as well and so on).
Hello,
I have getting type conversion errors for numeric and currency fields when importing an Ecxel spreadsheet into a Table in Access. I have tried changing the data type to text in Excel, and that is what it says I have done when I examine the field formats in question. How can I force this to be text, it keeps reverting,
i.e. the fields in question, to numeric and currency. Can anyone help? Thank you.

hello once again,
I need to import a text file into an existing table in Access. The text file has been imported once and is working well and everything. However, since I had to change some of the datatypes to be able to query the table correctly, I now cannot import the text file anymore unless I change the datatype of the table itself. Since someone other than I will be doing the imports from here on out, changing the datatypes everytime is out of the question. I was looking at the TransferText event, but I didn't seem to see anything about converting data types. I can think of two options, and neither are probably possible:
1. import using the wizard. Since I didn't see anything related to the types of data, I don't think this will work...
2.import using TransferText. This doesn't seem to give me any opportunity to change the datatypes either. Is there anyway to programmatically change datatypes, or is there possibly an easier way that I'm overlooking??
thanks in advance,

I need to import an excel spreadsheet into an existing Access 2003 table. Due to regulations, the spreadsheet cannot be linked.
When I try to import the spreadsheet, I receive a 'Type Conversion Failure' associated with a 'Product ID' field. In the Excel file, this column is populated with two types of values-- either a 9 digit number, or a 9 digit alpha numeric value. The 9 digit numbers import correctly, but the alpha numeric values fail.
Field names/layout in the excel spreadsheet are identical to the Access table, and the field type in the existing Access table is set to 'text.' There is no set Format, or Input Mask.
What I could change with the existing table to make this import work? I'd like to avoid importing a new table, as this would force me to recreate a number of relationships after each import.
I have created a make table query and using expressions for two of the fields. I have set the field properties (format) to "Percent". The expressions are calculating rates based on two other fields. The expressions are currently as such:
PTD_CM_PGM_RATE: IIf((IsError([PTD_CM_REPT_PGM]/[PTD_CM_REPT_ER])),"0%",[PTD_CM_REPT_PGM]/[PTD_CM_REPT_ER])
I'm using the IIF function to avoid potential errors should one or both of the values ("PTD_CM_REPT_PGM" or "PTD_CM_REPT_ER") be zero.
However, when running the query, I am getting the "...type conversion failure is caused when the data in one or more fields doesn't match...." error.
Hello,
Its been a long time since i've been in this forum. I have a question about a conversion error i received not sure whats its about
i'm converting from access 97 to 2000. i ran the access 2000 conversion utility and then the following appeared and the conversion error table
Object TypeObject NameError Description
TableMSysObjects-1611: Could not find field 'Description'.
It looks like the database is fine
I have a text column of alpha-numeric fields and some start P123456, P111111, P222222 etc. I want to remove the P from these fields.
I thought the following update query would do this but gives a type conversion error, regardless if the new column to copy them to is type text or number. Can someone help explain what is wrong.
UPDATE 2006 SET D2 = CLng(RIGHT(D1,LEN(D1-1)))
WHERE LEFT(D1,1)="P";
Thanks,
Andy
I am importing an Excel file of production data into a table using the TransferSpreadsheet method. Here is a snippet of the code:
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, , "tblMPSDATA", _
"" & stFilePath & "", True, ""
Everything works fine except the column which contains 'Material' holds both numeric and alpha-numeric values. For example these are both material numbers: 156952 and 1238707-202. The data in this column is formatted as General. The data type for Material in tblMPSDATA is Text, 18 character length. The alpha-numeric materials are all at the end of the file. When I import, an error table is created listing the alpha-numeric materials with the error 'Type Conversion Failure'. But if I have an alpha-numeric material in the first row of data then everything is imported just fine.
I have set up a nice little popup form with a file path and command button for controlling the process of bringing in this data. I really do not want to have to add special instructions about making sure the Excel data is sorted in a certain manner prior to importing. Any thoughts on why Access is not treating everything in this column as text?
Thanks,
JAB
I've got a CSV file that was created using SAS software. The CSV file has column titles in the first row. When I attempt to import the CSV file into Access 2007, some fields give a "Type Conversion Failure" error message.
These offending fields usually start with data that appears all numeric, although the column should be text, and the error occurs when an alphanumeric cell is encountered. In other words, it seems that Access 2007 is automatically switching to numeric based on what is initially encountered in a column.
Is there a way to tell Access to not do this type of recognition? Is there something else I must do to prevent this error from happening? Is there perhaps a piece of code I could use to eliminate these errors?
Thanks in advance to all who reply....looking forward to hearing from you!
I keep getting conversion errors, even though my field lengths and formats seem to match up. How to pursue a diagnostic for this?

I don't understand why I'm getting this message.
I have a form that is based on a parameter query. The user inputs an item number and the form opens in edit mode. The user clicks the "duplicate" command button and then changes the item number. I've incorporated GHudson's "A Better Mouse Trap" logic and when clicking "save" I get the type mismatch error.
I don't understand why Access is not returning the 3022 duplicate entry error.
When I click "debug" Access highlights the line as shown below:
Err_bSave_Click:
If Err = 2046 Then 'The command or action Undo is not available now
Exit Sub
Else
MsgBox Err.Number, Err.Description
Resume Exit_bSave_Click
End If
End Sub
Any and all assistance is appreciated.

I am trying to do a basic query and I keep getting a "Type Mismatch" error and the query will not run. If I only do a query on one table, it works no problem so I know it must be related to my Join between tables.
For the two tables that are joined (it is one-to-many)- the first table is a clients table and I created a field called ClientNumber that is an AutoNumber. The second table is called TrainingRequests. This will store the training requests for each client and each client can have multiple training requests. I created a field called ClientNumber in it as well (this is what field I linked the tables by). But I set it to text instead of AutoNumber.
Is there a way to do a query with the two tables? Or will I have to change something in table design? I already have some data in the tables so I am not sure what direction to take.
Thanks for any help someone can provide. It would be greatly appreciated.
Can someone please help with the following:
Dim strX As Variant
strX = DLookup("State", "TblScheduleK12004", "[PartnerID] = '" & Forms!FrmPrintRpt!cboClient & "'" And "[SetNum] = " & Forms!frmPrintRpt!txtSet)
[PartnerID] is a text field
[SetNum] = is a number field
I can get it to work with the Partner ID OR the SetNum but keep getting the error when I add the "AND" to include both.
In Microsoft Access 2000 I'm getting the following error message when I click on visual basic Event Procedure for the first time.
"There are no registered wizards of this type."
"Rerun Microsoft Access or Microsoft Office Setup to reinstall the wizards. If you want to preserve your security or custom settings, back up the 'workgrp file name here' workgroup information file.
For more information on backing up files, search the Microsoft Windows Help Index for 'backing up files'."
After I click OK on the error it goes back to Access. If I click the event procedure again visual basic opens up though VB the screen isn't what it suppose to be. The Object and Procedure pull downs at the top of the page disappear behind my toolbars and I can't get it to setup correctly. If I try to maneuver them correctly they still don't line up. This error seems to be messing that screen up.
This is only happening in one of my databases. In my other database the Object and Procedure pull downs at the top of the page are coming up correctly. If I start a new database that works fine too. I'm not sure why its doing it only on this database
I'm worried my VB is corrupted. Looking for any insight on what caused this and how to fix this.
Thanks!
